Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have deciphered a cellular mechanism leading to the desynchronization of neural networks, and corrected this organizational defect in an adult schizophrenia animal model, […]
Four types of neurons in the peripheral auditory system, three of which are new to science, have been identified by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. The analysis of these […]
Patient-derived glioblastoma cells with telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutations depend on a particular form of a protein called GABP for their survival, UC San Francisco researchers have discovered. The […]
Aspirin did not prolong healthy, independent living (life free of dementia or persistent physical disability), in a large clinical trial to determine the risks and benefits of daily low-dose aspirin […]
An international group led by Rush University Medical Center researcher Jeffrey Kordower, Ph.D., has moved a step closer to developing a treatment to clear brain cells of alpha-synuclein, a protein […]
To ensure that a mouse hears the sounds of an approaching cat better than it hears the sounds its own footsteps make, the mouse’s brain has a built-in noise-cancelling circuit. […]
As mammals age, immune cells in the brain known as microglia become chronically inflamed. In this state, they produce chemicals known to impair cognitive and motor function. That’s one explanation […]
Neurons absorb and release water when they relay messages throughout the brain, according to a study by researchers at the National Institutes of Health and other institutions. Tracking this water […]
