Understanding how a healthy brain works can provide insight into how it fails, too. Scientists hope that studying organoids derived from humans with neurodevelopmental disorders — particularly ...

A landmark study of nearly 24,000 brain scans found that childhood diet didn't just affect body weight — it left lasting ...

As we work on overcoming what scares us, a new plasticity becomes available in our brain, and fear strikes out.

After treatment, the mice’s memories were essentially shunted back into a younger state. The researchers found that reprogrammed engrams displayed molecular behavior of more youthful cells. Using a ...

A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s disease. Because the condition is ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified two specific receptor proteins in the brain that, when activated, boost the organ’s built-in ability to break down the amyloid-beta plaques ...

Memories are thought to be stored in sparse groups of neurons called engrams. These are the cells that switch on during learning and can later switch on again during recall. In physiological aging and ...

Your brain relies on glucose to function correctly. This means that your mind and focus may be impacted if your blood sugar ...

Researchers from the NeuroAD group (Neuropathology of Alzheimer's Disease) within the Department of Cell Biology, Genetics ...

A new brain implant trial aims to restore lost dopamine cells in Parkinson’s patients. Researchers are now testing it in ...

Aging doesn’t have to mean losing your past. Scientists have found a way to "reprogram" specific memory-holding neurons, restoring youthful learning and recall in mice.

For the first time ever, an anti-aging drug is providing hope for millions who suffer from this common condition.
