A new study led by researchers from VIB and KU Leuven shows that immune cells called microglia can actively promote the formation of plaques in Alzheimer's disease, challenging the long-standing view ...

Researchers have transplanted healthy mitochondria into brain cells and animal models of neurodegeneration, reporting improved energy output, reduced cell death, and temporary recovery of motor ...

Scientists have successfully reconstructed videos purely from the brain activity of mice, showing what the mice were seeing, in a new study led by University College London (UCL) researchers. The ...

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

Scientists used a compact AI model to predict how visual cortex neurons respond to images, revealing hidden patterns in perception.

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

University College London (UCL) researchers have achieved a fascinating leap in neural decoding. The ...

This insight may also help researchers better understand how other organs develop and could eventually inspire new medical ...

Researchers challenge the long-standing "neural independence" theory, showing that learning actually makes neurons more coordinated.

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

Cerebral palsy is a condition usually caused by brain damage before or during birth, resulting in impaired posture and movement. A Japanese research team has demonstrated in rat experiments that stem ...

In cell culture experiments, stem cells from human baby teeth promoted neural cell proliferation. In rat models, the stem cell therapy improved motor skills and learning, suggesting potential ...
