Scientists identify a "master regulator" that may reset Brain Aging by controlling tau and gene expression in neurons.

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

University of Utah researchers at the Pulst-Scoles Laboratory have discovered that reducing levels of the STAUFEN-1 protein ...

A new method of CCM using which connections between neurons can be inferred based on the causal relationships between spike train data. Understanding the brain’s functional architecture is a ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

Researchers from Sweden have discovered that the human brain continues to grow new cells in the memory region—called the hippocampus—even into old age. Using advanced tools to examine brain samples ...

When brain cells die in diseases like ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and frontotemporal dementia, they often activate a ...

Some parts of the body can recover from injury fairly rapidly. The cornea, for example, can heal from minor scratches within a single day. The human brain, however, is not one of these fast-healing ...

A new Yale study has revealed that neurons — the energy-hungry cells that connect and direct activity in the brain — are equipped with “backup batteries” that kick in to keep the brain running during ...

Brain tumors have long been treated as rogue invaders: growing, spreading, and resisting treatment on their own. But new research suggests something far more unsettling: some brain tumors may actually ...
