New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology not only learned a simple visual category ...

For more than a century, neuroscience has treated consciousness as something the brain manufactures, like a factory turning ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells - one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...

After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, forms an abnormal connection with an enzyme called ClpP. This enzyme normally ...

A look at Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), focusing on motor neuron degeneration, sporadic versus familial ...

Explore the connection between neurodegeneration and cellular senescence in understanding brain structure and ageing.

Scientists have uncovered a previously unseen protein interaction that appears to accelerate Parkinson’s disease by undermining the brain’s energy systems, offering what researchers describe as a ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, ...

There is a cellular energy molecule named NAD+ in the brain of mammals, which is essential for normal brain function. As a ...
