Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas and their international colleagues have determined the molecular signature of human sleeping -­ or silent -­ nociceptors: sensory neurons that are ...

Life Biosciences tests ER-100, a gene therapy that aims to restore vision by rejuvenating damaged retinal neurons.

Scientists have found a key brain network that’s disrupted by Parkinson’s disease, according to a study published today in ...

An “extraordinary” brain network discovery shows that Parkinson’s disease may not be a movement disorder after all ...

Research from NeuroQure, a biotechnology company specializing in autism spectrum disorder, has led to the development of a skin punch biopsy that can be used as early as the second day after birth to ...

Findings revealed biological pathways as potential intervention points, and demonstrated in fruit flies potential therapeutic strategies.

If you're trying to increase your potassium intake but can't stand bananas, eat these foods rich in the essential mineral and ...

Cells shrink a major internal structure as they age. New research shows this downsizing is deliberate—and linked to longer ...

Using an aging clock, researchers from the University of Cologne have used the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to demonstrate that nerve cells age differently. They identified both the causes of ...

I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely ...

Amyloids are typically associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinsons. They form tightly packed, highly stable "detrimental" protein fibers that destroy ...

Scientists discovered why some neurons resist tau toxicity, identifying CRL5SOCS4 as a crucial defense and linking ...
