Scientists have achieved a greater understanding of the mammalian brain’s connectivity by showing that the hippocampus a central information processing hub—sends impulses selectively to different
A collaboration of scientists from across Europe has discovered a cellular pathway that could lead to the development of new therapeutic interventions to stop or
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial defects in neurons are implicated in neurodegenerative disease. Here, we find that a key consequence of ROS and neuronal mitochondrial
When a nasty taste makes the stomach turn, neurons in the brain’s insular cortex fire up to form a memory of the foul flavor. But
The time window for the brain to develop optimal connections based on learning and experience is relatively short-lived, occurring prior to adulthood. But this neuroplasticity
Yeast has shown some promise as a model system to generate lead compounds that could have therapeutic potential for the cellular problems associated with neurodegenerative
A repetitive DNA sequence that was not believed to encode proteins is, in fact, the source of insoluble peptide chains that aggregate in the brain
α-Synuclein (α-syn) may promote Parkinson’s disease–like pathology by cell-to-cell transmission in mice, according to a new report in Science (338, 949–953, 2012). Parkinson’s disease is characterized by abundant α-synuclein
