The Amyloid—Tangle Connection. Aβ aggregates (green) hyper-excite neurons in tau epicenters and connected regions, strengthening that connectivity. This pushes tau propagation from one region to ...

Be it going back to driving or solving crossword puzzles, many hobbies and activities can help lower risks of dementia or ...

A breakthrough study published today in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of ...

New research uncovers how forever chemicals disrupt brain health, highlighting genetic impacts and raising concerns about ...

A new study published in JAMA Psychiatry provides evidence that young adults at risk of developing psychosis show reduced ...

To understand how these brain cells exchange information through their synapses (junctions to exchange chemical 'messages'), the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain and ...

When stimulated, nerve cells generate new tendrils of connection to other nerve cells, called synapses. All learning hinges on the brain’s capacity to form new nerve cell connections ...

The study suggests that mutations in the Usp9X gene could be a potential cause of autism. These mutations disrupt the ...

Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have identified in a preclinical model a specific brain circuit whose inhibition appears ...

Exercise releases neurotransmitters like endorphins; dopamine, part of the brain's reward system; norepinephrine, which can ...

A tiny brain for immense discoveries. The fruit fly, this simple vinegar fly, holds within it the secrets of neural connections. Could understanding its brain pave the way for insights into human ...
