Dopamine neurons in the midbrain may, with aging, be increasingly susceptible to a vicious spiral of decline driven by fuel shortages, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine (NY, USA) ...

Scientists have succeeded in reactivating axon growth by blocking a cellular switch, offering hope for the repair of severe ...

A new study uncovers how hyperactive and dysregulated synaptic circuits emerge in the brain tissue of children impacted by Sanfilippo syndrome.

The data shows when the protein is removed from neurons or has its signaling activity blocked with drugs, axonal fibers grew more effectively.

A hidden mechanism in MS may be damaging neurons at their genetic core, offering a potential new way to slow the disease.

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate ...

A new Yale study has revealed that neurons — the energy-hungry cells that connect and direct activity in the brain — are equipped with “backup batteries” that kick in to keep the brain running during ...

Researchers identify "meal memory" neurons in laboratory rats that could explain why forgetting lunch leads to overeating. Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create ...

For decades, multiple sclerosis research has focused on myelin, the insulation around the brain's wiring. Scientists paid ...

Researchers have identified a specific class of brain neurons that dies during multiple sclerosis because inflammation ...
