There are approximately 5.6 million people over the age of 65 living with Alzheimer’s disease in the United States. With the population aging, that number
Cancer cells have the ability to connect to and feed off of neurons in the brain, according to three studies published in Nature on Wednesday
Tau is a structural protein of brain cells that, in various neurodegenerative conditions and as a result of brain injury, can accumulate as tangled toxic
Characterized by a rise in heart rate, respiration, temperature, and adrenaline, the acute stress response, more commonly known as the fight-or-flight response, is a physiological
Cortical organoids—three-dimensional bundles of neurons and glia grown in a dish from induced pluripotent stem cells—look a lot like tiny brains. And while the gene
When adults have strokes affecting a structure called the arcuate fasciculus in the left hemisphere of the brain, they usually lose their language abilities and
A mesh-like network of cells within mice’s skin plays a previously unknown role in pain perception, researchers reported today (August 16) in Science. The scientists
When people listened to questions from a predetermined set and spoke a response from a group of answer options, a computer program could correctly predict
In a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, animals that had ample levels the bacterium Akkermansia muciniphila in their gut microbiomes fared better than those
For years, scientists thought the brain lacked a lymphatic system, raising questions about how fluid, macromolecules, and immune cells escape the organ. In 2015, two
In mice whose sense of smell has been disabled, a squirt of stem cells into the nose can restore olfaction, researchers report today (May 30)
Sequencing the nuclear RNA of more than 100,000 individual postmortem brain cells from people with and without autism spectrum disorder indicates the types of genes
Noninvasive stimulation of key brain regions could help people reverse the common age-related decline in working memory—our ability to remember names, numbers, and other tidbits
Imaging of neurons in the brains of living mice reveals how synapses between cells are eliminated in response to stress and reinstated by an antidepressant
Electrical recordings of approximately 24,000 individual neurons across 34 regions of the mouse brain reveal, in a study published in Science today (April 4), the
For a small fold of tissue, the hippocampus has an outsized influence. It stores and retrieves human memories, capturing the life history that makes us
Sounds with a frequency of 40 hertz and lights that flicker at the same rate stimulate a pattern of brain activity known as gamma waves,
It’s well established that exercise is good for the mammalian brain. As early as 1999, researchers discovered considerably more newborn neurons in the hippocampi of
Researchers have come up with a new method to control brain cells in live animals using specially designed receptor proteins that respond to the drug
Without night vision goggles, mammals have no hope of seeing infrared light, which has wavelengths longer than light on the visible spectrum. But in a
Researchers in the UK and New Zealand have created the largest-ever database of protein expression changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease, according to a study published
Levels of a protein called neurofilament light chain increase in the blood and spinal fluid of some Alzheimer’s patients 16 years before they develop symptoms,
Patterns of brain activity in people with autism are unusually consistent over seconds—and even years, two new studies suggest. One study shows that patterns of
Neurons derived from the skin cells of people with and without autism spectrum disorder exhibit different patterns of growth and development, according to a study
