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

The DGIST Center for Synapse Diversity and Specificity has identified MDGA2 as a novel causative gene for developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE), a rare and intractable neurological disorder ...

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 ...

Proteins that start life inside neurons build up faster in old age and spread to other brain cells—a potentially source of neurological mischief ...

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

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

A substance derived from omega—3 fatty acid, which is found in Far Eastern sardines, reduces neuroinflammation and promotes ...

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 ...
