Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years.

Studying the minds of octogenarians with surprising cognitive resilience shows how it's possible to maintain a youthful brain well into old age.

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 ...

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

Nerve cells in the brain are constantly bombarded with information from different senses simultaneously. How can the brain prioritize what is most important?

Scientists discover that sickle cell disease forces the brain to recruit extra "attention backup" to maintain normal cognitive function.

Cortical Labs is building two data centres that will house its neuron-filled chips. The technology is still in the very early ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue that holds neurons together, but glial cells can also be helpful in promoting ...

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