At least 55 million people are living with dementia worldwide. Among the various forms of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease — a neurodegenerative disorder that is caused by a loss of neurons — is the most ...

New study reveals that 'SuperAgers' have brains that produce twice the number of young neurons, showing the brain's capacity to regenerate and resist cognitive decline.

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in whom the ability wanes, finds a study published today in Nature. The authors ...

Brains of older adults with super-healthy cognition grow more new neurons than those of their peers, according to a study ...

For some time, the field of neuroscience has been predominantly "neurocentric," viewing neurons as the primary agents of information processing while ...

A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age-related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and worsening motor skills, including gait, balance and agility. While it is ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's ...

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

Loss and dysfunction of synapses have been linked to age-related cognitive decline and observed in Alzheimer's and other ...

Treatment with Evrysdi (risdiplam) may modestly improve arm function for adults with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a new study indicates.

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

Spinal cord injury often triggers a cascade of secondary damage that severely limits functional recovery, largely driven by ...
