A groundbreaking study from Sweden's Karolinska Institutet reveals that the human brain continues to grow new neurons even after the age of 60. This discovery challenges old beliefs and opens ...

Neurons that die early in Alzheimer’s help drive brain waste removal. Treating this process sooner could change outcomes.

Neurogenesis may be happening in a brain region essential for memory and learning.

Whether or not we grow new brain cells as adults has been the subject of an ongoing and often contentious debate. Now, evidence suggests that we can. This could help answer one of neuroscience ...

For the first time, a lab-grown brain-computer system has demonstrated that human neurons living and evolving in an artificial system respond to medication by learning, in real time, in a game ...

More than 80 percent of activated medium spiny neurons in the nucleus accumbens expressed reelin mRNA, with average expression about 10 times greater compared to neurons that were not activated by ...

Methylene blue may help mitochondria generate energy for cells to use. For these reasons, researchers are studying methylene blue’s effect on the brain.

Neuroscientists can now make precise genetic tweaks to the neurons that are most affected by brain diseases such as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and ALS ...

Scientists figure out how the brain forms emotional connections Neural recordings track how neurons link environments to emotional events.

In a new study, researchers identified a molecule produced by a particular type of brain cell that reversed the cognitive decline seen in both healthy aging and dementia. It provides a deeper ...
