Researchers have discovered a new way to increase a key brain protein damaged in Rett syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects thousands of children worldwide. Early studies in mice and ...

Scientists have mapped a direct link between a common brain gas and the hyperactive cell growth often seen in autism. Protecting a specific protein from this gas normalized behavior in animal models ...

Discover how white matter changes in the brain can predict aging trajectories and cognitive decline in individuals.

A team of researchers at Texas Children's Duncan Neurological Research Institute (NRI) and Baylor College of Medicine report ...

WPI researchers have used a form of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze anatomical changes in the brain and predict ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a potential new strategy to fight back against Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, conditions that are linked to the toxic accumulation of ...

Tau proteins play an important role in our normal brain function, mainly by helping to stabilize neurons in the brain. But in Alzheimer’s disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons.

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 ...

New research suggests childhood cancer survivors may experience accelerated biological aging from treatments, potentially ...

A team of researchers at Texas Children’s Duncan Neurological Research Institute (NRI) and Baylor College of Medicine report in Science Translational Medicine a potential new approach to treat Rett ...

WPI researchers use machine learning and brain scans to identify age- and sex-specific anatomical patterns that predict ...
