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

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 ...

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 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 ...

Stressed brain cells can survive longer by slowing sugar use, revealing a short-term protective response that later turns ...

“By the time we examine an autopsied brain-tissue sample, a pathologist will have rinsed it with alcohol, removing lipids,” said Tony Wyss-Coray, PhD, the D. H. Chen Professor II, a professor of ...

Plastic and thus modifiable neurons lose their function at old age, new research in fruit flies reveals.

One of the most striking outcomes of the surface-minimization framework is its ability to explain structural features that ...

Alzheimer’s may destroy memory by flipping a single molecular switch that tells neurons to prune their own connections. Researchers found that both amyloid beta and inflammation converge on the same ...
