Digital engagement is neither inherently benign nor uniformly harmful among young people. Later in life, it can fortify specific cognitive skills through intentional practice.

A new study shows how dysfunctional packaging of the neurotransmitter dopamine triggers toxic processes in neurons – and how this can be repaired with simple delivery of energy (ATP).

A new study shows how dysfunctional packaging of the neurotransmitter dopamine triggers toxic processes in neurons - and how ...

Researchers found that astrocytes in the amygdala actively encode, maintain, and extinguish fear memories. Altering their activity changed fear responses and neural signaling.

Previous single-cell atlases of the developing human brain generated at Karolinska Institutet had revealed an unexpected diversity of midbrain progenitor cell types, but it remained unclear how this ...

Researchers have uncovered something extraordinary: starfish don't have five arms. They are, genetically, one massive, ...

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

Human pluripotent stem-cells (HPSCs)—including human embryonic stem-cells and human induced pluripotent stem-cells—are reshaping the landscape of regenerative medicine.1,2 In Parkinson's disease, ...

For decades, Parkinson’s disease has been framed as a problem of a single patch of brain tissue that controls movement. New work suggests the condition may instead arise from a deeper, far-reaching ...

A new Chinese research institute is exploring the impact on cognition of voyages into outer space and the deep ocean, and is also seeking global researchers to join its ranks. Extended space flight ...
