A study in mice suggests infantile amnesia is not a failure of memory, but a developmentally useful process guided by brain ...

Scientists have found a possible explanation for why cancer patients are less likely to develop Alzheimer's. The enemy of our ...

Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile amnesia") and improves memory in mice, suggesting that microglia may ...

Cancer and Alzheimer's disease are two of the most feared diagnoses in medicine, but they rarely strike the same person.

By analyzing tissue from patients with Parkinson's disease, and animal and cellular models of the disease, a research team from the Institut de Neurociències of the UAB has shown that the main immune ...

Brain tissue analysis shows reactive microglia in Parkinson’s disease overexpress Fc gamma receptors, which may lead to inappropriate elimination of functional dopaminergic neurons. These findings ...
