Cognitive neuroscience integrates studies of brain structure and function to elucidate how anatomical substrates give rise to perception, action and higher cognition. Investigations combine structural ...

Cellular senescence is commonly defined as a state characterized by permanent cell cycle arrest in the absence of cell death, in which cells have altered function. While cellular senescence has been ...

A largely overlooked structure inside our cells may play a crucial role in how the brain forms, offering new insight into developmental disorders and potential therapies. In a study published in Cell ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...

Stanford researchers discovered that dialing down an overactive enzyme, LRRK2, can regrow lost cellular “antennae” in key brain cells, restoring vital dopamine communication and neuroprotective ...

A gerontologist wanted his preserved brain to be reanimated. Cryopreservation is more likely to be used on organs for transplantation. L. Stephen Coles’s brain sits cushioned in a vat at a storage ...
