Scientists have uncovered the intricate circuit cues behind neuronal cell maturation and migration, which is required for proper cognitive function. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a ...

Researchers at Tulane University, with a team of colleagues from eight other universities, have discovered a new nerve cell signaling mechanism that could transform our understanding of pain and lead ...

In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

Scientists have identified a protective brain pathway that may help slow the progression of Parkinson's disease by ...

Ordinary human cells, not just neurons, respond more strongly to memory signals when they arrive in spaced bursts rather than ...

A sequence of stress signals among specialized clean-up cells in the brain could at last reveal why some immune responses can cause significant nerve degeneration that results in the loss of memory, ...

Some people carry the full molecular burden of Alzheimer’s disease, brains loaded with amyloid plaques and tangled tau ...

A new study identifies a neuronal circuit from the motor cortex to the insular cortex, offering a new target for non-invasive ...

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited genetic developmental condition that strongly impacts brain development. Despite the syndrome stemming from an altered genetic code for the single protein ...
