Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified two specific receptor proteins in the brain that, when activated, boost the organ’s built-in ability to break down the amyloid-beta plaques ...

Memories are thought to be stored in sparse groups of neurons called engrams. These are the cells that switch on during learning and can later switch on again during recall. In physiological aging and ...

A new brain implant trial aims to restore lost dopamine cells in Parkinson’s patients. Researchers are now testing it in ...

Aging doesn’t have to mean losing your past. Scientists have found a way to "reprogram" specific memory-holding neurons, restoring youthful learning and recall in mice.

New research shows that physical pressure from brain tumors or injuries triggers a "self-destruction" program in neurons, leading to irreversible brain damage.

For the first time ever, an anti-aging drug is providing hope for millions who suffer from this common condition.

Researchers from a joint Skoltech and University of Sharjah laboratory and their collaborators from Paris Saclay University, France, have identified biomolecules whose levels in nerve tissue are ...

Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, their study found that chronic compression triggers neuron death by a variety of mechanisms, both directly and indirectly. The ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate ...

BISC is an ultra-thin neural implant that creates a high-bandwidth wireless link between the brain and computers. Its tiny single-chip design packs tens of thousands of electrodes and supports ...
