Your brain is constantly renewing itself through a process known as phagocytosis, in which cells surround and break down smaller cells or molecules.

CURE SYNGAP1, a 501(c)(3) organization, is proud to announce the award of a $25,000 grant to Dr. Àlex Bayés Puig, Group ...

A study maps how toxic tau disrupts synapses over time, showing early postsynaptic damage that later spreads presynaptically.

As we age, we begin to lose the connections that wire up our brains-and neuroscientists aren't sure why.

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 ...

These cells act like cleaners. They remove waste, broken proteins, and old cell parts so that the brain can continue working ...

This video explains how memories form and persist, exploring the roles of neurons, synapses, and brain regions involved in ...

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 ...

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

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such as the models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT and various other online platforms, has grown exponentially over the past few years. Current ...

A holistic inquiry into how toxic tau impacts synapses provides a new take on the processes that lead to neuronal dysfunction ...

Johns Hopkins scientists reveal that “inactive” GluD brain proteins regulate neuronal communication and open up new ...
