Researchers have discovered that mutations in the FOXJ3 gene act as a "master switch" failure, disrupting how the brain ...

Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to construct new maps of mouse brains showing a precise location of more than 10 ...

The origin of some neuropsychiatric diseases, such as autism, bipolar disorder, or depression, and certain neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, can be found in very early stages of ...

Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and Uniklinikum Erlangen have succeeded in preserving brain tissue through extreme deep freezing. After thawing, the neurons ...

Millions of myelin-producing cells have been mapped in the mouse brain, advancing our understanding of nervous system ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this process possible. Among the discoveries is PEDS1, a gene now linked to a ...

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...

Schematic model showing how memory is consolidated in the prefrontal cortex and how circuitry through the amygdala shifts as hippocampal engram cells become silent and cortical engrams become active.

When myelin breaks down, white matter in the brain deteriorates, a change commonly seen with aging. At the same time, microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, can shift from protective responders ...

Increasing our level of physical fitness leads to a bigger release of brain-boosting proteins following one session of ...

Endless hours at the office often result in troubling 'brain fog,' a frustrating blend of exhaustion and lack of focus. Professionals highlight that this fatigue frequently originates from relentless ...

Experts explain how metabolic switching, autophagy, and BDNF could support cognitive health. Neurologists say structured ...
