The cells with electrophysiological activity obtained at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) are opening up new avenues for the study of neurodegenerative diseases and the development of ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Lewy bodies are a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other related neurological conditions. The presence of Lewy bodies in the brain is considered a “pathologic certainty” of Parkinson’s disease ...

New research shows how some brain cells fight tau buildup in Alzheimer’s, pointing to internal systems that help neurons survive longer.

Researchers identified DMTF1 as a key transcription factor driving neural stem cell regeneration during aging. The study ...

For much of the 20th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis – the birth of new neurons – is now a widely ...

Scientists are developing a "sponge" that can soak up pain signals in the body before they reach the brain, potentially ...

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have found that a key ...
