Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

When myelin breaks down, white matter in the brain deteriorates, a change commonly seen with aging. At the same time, microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, can shift from protective responders ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue that holds neurons together, but glial cells can also be helpful in promoting ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes, once dismissed as mere support cells, play a central role in fear memory.

Meanwhile, there are also foods that may worsen brain fog. These include highly processed foods, foods with excess added ...

Millions of myelin-producing cells have been mapped in the mouse brain, advancing our understanding of nervous system ...

Researchers have identified a specific protein complex inside neurons that tags toxic tau fragments for destruction, offering the clearest explanation yet for why certain brain cells survive while ...

A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s disease. Because the condition is ...

A new study discovers how nitric oxide triggers a biochemical domino effect in the brain, leading to mTOR overactivation in ...

The field of neuroenergetics has increasingly recognized that the metabolism and transport of lipids, such as fatty acids and cholesterol, are critical for ...

Researchers at UCLA Health and UC San Francisco have identified a specific molecular mechanism that explains why certain ...
