In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic ...

Age can make memory feel like something that only moves in one direction. A name slips away. A route you know well turns ...

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

Researchers identify brain neurons that become active after exercise and help determine how much endurance improves with repeated training.

New research finds that sleep is essential for protecting brain mitochondria by transferring toxic metabolic waste from neurons to glial cells for disposal.

For decades, the idea that the human brain might naturally produce the psychedelic compound DMT has attracted considerable attention. It has been speculated that DMT could function as a natural ...

Targeting OTULIN has proven to eliminate toxic tau proteins in human neurons for the first time, opening a new avenue for treating dementia.

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.

A study using Ribo-STAMP technology reveals that protein production in brain cells varies significantly between different types of neurons, offering new insights into autism and memory.

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal ...

Researchers applied the Ribo-STAMP method to map protein translation in nearly 20,000 mouse hippocampal cells. The study ...

Studies on the neurons of mice suggest our own human endurance may have more to do with the brain than our physique.
