Recent work has revealed some of the many crucial functions of astrocytes, brain cells that were once thought to play primarily supportive roles for neurons. Astrocytes do handle debris around neurons ...

A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. A study now identifies, ...

A new study has found that SuperAgers also grow more neurons than other older adults groups, helping to keep their brains ...

A study by University of Massachusetts Amherst finds that using alcohol to cope with stress in early adulthood may lead to lasting brain changes. These effects can impact decision-making and cognitive ...
