A new technique that makes dead mice transparent and hard like plastic is giving researchers an unprecedented view of how different types of cell interact
In October, researchers at Kyoto University transplanted cells generated from induced pluripotent stem cells into the brain of a man with Parkinson’s disease, the scientists
Anticipating something tasty can lead to a watering mouth and grumbling stomach, but these familiar responses aren’t the only ways the body prepares for nourishment.
Two studies in mice published today (October 31) in Nature report the existence of several types of brain cells that had not been acknowledged before.
Getting your appendix removed may reduce the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, researchers report yesterday (October 31) in Science Translational Medicine. The team identified the
The first time Nico Dosenbach read his colleague’s study in 2013, “I knew that I’d been doing neuroscience wrong for a long time,” he says.
The activity in a cortical area involved in self-regulation was the best correlate of weight loss in a study published today (October 18) in Cell
When you move only your right arm, there’s neural activity in both the left and right sides of the brain, researchers report today. Recent animal
Mice that model a severe form of Alzheimer’s disease tend to exhibit improved memory after exercise-induced neuron production, according to a report in Science today
Researchers have discovered a new type of inhibitory neuron present in human, but not mouse, brains. So-called rosehip neurons, described yesterday (August 27) in Nature
Two gene injections reprogram Müller glia into rod photoreceptors in the retinas of blind mice and partially restore the animals’ vision, researchers report today (August
Ultrasound and microbubbles can safely open the blood-brain barrier in patients with Alzheimer’s disease, researchers reported yesterday (July 25) in Nature Communications and at the
An Alzheimer’s drug slows the rate of cognitive decline while reducing the amount of plaques in patients’ brains, according to the results of a clinical
Researchers at Caltech have designed a noninvasive method to control specific neural circuits in the mouse brain. The technique, published earlier this week (July 9)
Opioids—one of the most effective treatments for pain—come with a host of potential side effects: addiction, risk of overdose, and the development of tolerance that
If youngsters told their elders to be quiet, stress levels would surely rise. But, when it comes to brain cells, it seems the opposite is
Several hundred genes linked to intelligence or neuroticism have been reported in two separate studies conducted by the same group and published in Nature today
