Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...
When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that ...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive memory loss and a significant decline in ...
Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in whom the ability wanes, finds a study published today in Nature. The ...
A newly identified role for the neuronal MPS shows it controls nutrient uptake by acting as a gatekeeper. Its disruption ...

A newly discovered mechanism that protects nerve cells could have important implications for understanding and treating mental illness.
Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...
Neurons are the most well-known cells in the brain but they are not the only type of cell in this organ. The other main type is the glial cells, also known as neuroglia. Glia comes from the Greek word ...
Researchers link glymphatic system (brain waste-clearance) dysfunction in childhood to the future development of psychosis and chemical imbalances.
