A new study from Karolinska Institutet shows that damage to small blood vessels in the hereditary disease CADASIL may disrupt ...

Studies have shown that in ALS patients, microtubules—which are the major component of the cell cytoskeleton and serve as tracks for transporting components from cell bodies to neuronal ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in which aging cells change how they function—is associated with human brain ...

Biocomputing research is testing living neurons for computation as scientists look for energy-efficient alternatives to ...

Can the brain function when its architecture is altered? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) demonstrates that ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

Explore the connection between neurodegeneration and cellular senescence in understanding brain structure and ageing.

Recent analysis of human brain tissue suggests that a small and often overlooked region deep within the brain may play a central role in bipolar disorder. Researchers found that neurons in the ...

Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered that neurons located in the wrong place can still carry out their normal ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

It could transform our understanding of why diseases develop and the medicines needed to treat them, says researchers.

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of the brain.
