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

Parkinson’s disease has long been defined by the slow, relentless loss of dopamine-producing neurons, with treatments focused ...

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 calibrated ultrasonic pulses. On the screen in front of us, calcium signals ...

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

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 ...

Bipolar disorder can feel like a storm that erupts from nowhere, yet for decades the brain circuitry driving those brutal ...

An investigation by researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in the US has filled in a missing link between the toxic build-up of proteins in the neurodegenerative condition ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

An upside-down jellyfish drifts in a shallow lagoon, rhythmically contracting its translucent bell. By night that beat drops ...

One way to think about NAD+ is as an energy courier. It shuttles electrons to the mitochondria, where ATP is produced. When ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...
