Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered that neurons located in the wrong place can still carry out their normal ...

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

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

Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right side can, after a turn, become a headwind. To stay on course, the fly's ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New mouse data reveal that ageing neurons struggle to clear synaptic proteins, shifting the burden to microglia and exposing a critical vulnerability in brain protein maintenance ...

Neurons are the most well-known cells in the brain but they are not the only type of cell in this organ. The other main type is the glial cells, also known as neuroglia. Glia comes from the Greek word ...

Improving blood flow to the brain by opening a narrowed neck artery may not improve patients' cognitive skills, according to ...

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 ...

In mice, blocking heart-to-brain signals improved healing after a heart attack, hinting at new targets for cardiac therapy.

Procedures that remove plaque from a narrowed carotid artery in the neck or prop the artery open with a stent did not appear to be better at improving cognitive function than medi ...
