How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group ...

Tubulin acts as a master regulator, preventing Tau and alpha-synuclein from forming toxic clumps in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in which aging cells change how they function—is associated with human brain ...

When myelin breaks down, white matter in the brain deteriorates, a change commonly seen with aging. At the same time, microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, can shift from protective responders ...

Scientists from the Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks (MICRONS) consortium have published the microconnectome of a cubic millimeter of the mouse brain. This is the most complete map of this ...

Tau proteins act like the brain's maintenance crew, helping maintain the structure and proper function of brain cells. In ...

Modern neuroscience research continues to explore compounds that interact with brain signaling systems. Scientists analyze molecular pathways that influence attention, neural communication, and ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...

Two brain-healthy foods, different benefits—here’s what to know.
