Cell death in dementia has long posed a frustrating problem. Toxic proteins pile up inside neurons in Alzheimer’s disease and ...

McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes ...

Most of the tasks that humans complete daily entail carefully coordinating movements and tracking progress made toward a ...

Alzheimer's disease is driven by a buildup of a toxic protein called Tau that kills neurons. As toxic Tau spreads to new ...

Digging deep into the molecular mechanisms behind ALS, researchers at the Les Turner ALS Center at Northwestern Medicine have discovered why nerve cells overfire in the disease. Not only that—they ...

Researchers discover that the GPR3 receptor acts as an immediate-early gene to jumpstart neuron and synapse development.

New research uncovers the impact of excess iron accumulation in neurons, causing vulnerability to stress and leading to ...

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.

ALS and other motor neuron diseases are increasing in Europe, with a 2.8% annual prevalence rise. This rise is partly due to ...

Understanding linguistic and semantic processing in the human brain involves exploring intricate neural networks. However, it remains unclear whether and how the amygdala and hippocampus are involved ...

Neuromorphic computing could be used to create artificial intelligence with high compactness and efficiency. However, complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) circuits are inherently different ...
