A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age-related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and ...

By examining mice across the lifespan, researchers showed that age lowers firing rates in cerebellar Purkinje cells, leading to poorer motor coordination. Reversing this decline improved performance, ...

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

In Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, a protein called tau can pile up inside brain cells and form toxic clumps. Those clumps help drive memory loss and other symptoms.

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on aging research on January 8, 2025. The collection of reviews and perspectives reflects the progress made in ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from repeated exercise—such as the ability ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be utilized to study complex health conditions in in vitro platforms relevant to humans. It is possible to reprogram human iPSC lines from patient ...
