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

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, ...

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

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).

The study provides the most detailed spatiotemporal profile to date of early human midbrain development, offering a powerful new reference for neuroscience and regenerative medicine. The midbrain is ...

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

A team from the Institute of Neurosciences of the University of Barcelona (UBneuro) has discovered that early and sustained cognitive stimulation can help preserve brain connectivity and memory in ...

Drinking tea or coffee may help preserve brain function and reduce dementia risk, a large US study has suggested. Researchers said those who had the highest daily intake of caffeinated coffee had an ...

Picture a star-shaped cell in the brain, stretching its spindly arms out to cradle the neurons around it. That's an astrocyte, and for a long time, scientists thought its job was caretaking the brain, ...

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 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 ...

A new study explores the effects of both recent and lifetime cannabis use on brain function during cognitive tasks. The study, the largest of its kind ever to be completed, examined the effects of ...
