Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in whom the ability wanes, finds a study published today in Nature. The ...
Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to ...
A new model of memory — and a little-heralded type of brain cell — might explain why the human brain has such a huge storage capacity, researchers reported in the journal PNAS in May. The study looks ...
A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...
Scientists reverse Alzheimer's memory loss in mice by using NAD+ to restore brain energy, defying decades of research.
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. Though ...
A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...
A University of Iowa-led research team has documented in humans that physical exercise sparks an increase in brain waves ...
Lingering inflammation from viruses like COVID-19 or HIV can take a lasting toll on the brain. New research shows exactly how specific immune system imbalances lead to memory lapses and slowed ...
