An investigation by researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in the US has filled in a missing link between the toxic build-up of proteins in the neurodegenerative condition ...

After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, ...

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

Among the newly identified brain cell types were some in the neocortex and the striatum region, which controls movement and certain other functions. Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious ...

Knowing which lysosomal proteins are enriched in which brain cell types will help better understand contribution to neurological disorders.

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Alzheimer's disease has long been thought to be irreversible, but new research using a mouse model offers hope.

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

Your brain is one of the most energy-hungry organs in your body, relying on a steady supply of nutrients to think, focus, and remember. Many of the foods that support overall health also help keep ...

Researchers have found that key brain cells may be damaged in overdose, and OUD itself resembles near-drowning victims. Serial neurological evaluations and neurorehab could help.
