Neurons in the memory-associated entorhinal cortex of super-agers are significantly larger than their cognitively average peers, those with MCI, and even in people up to 30 years younger. Additionally, these neurons contained no signs of Tau, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers document traumatic brain injury as a global health problem that affects 55 million people worldwide and is the leading cause of injury-related death and disability.
In the olfactory system, tufted cells are better at recognizing smells than mitral cells. Tufted cells are one of two parallel neural circuit loops that help the brain process different odor features. The findings shed light on how the brain takes in sensory information that influences behavior and emotion.
Postbiotics with a morning coffee can help give your immune system a boost, a new study reveals.
In order to make autism research less harmful to the autism community, researchers propose new data-driven guidelines for discussing ASD in their work.
People with normal-tension glaucoma are at increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, researchers say.
Outgroup preference is not necessarily reflective of negative feelings about one's ingroup as much as it positively reflects feelings about the outgroup.
Oxytocin, a hormone connected with bonding and love, could help to heal damage following a heart attack. Researchers found oxytocin stimulates stem cells from the heart's outer layer and migrates into the middle layer where it develops into muscle cells that generate heart contractions. This could be used to promote the regeneration of heart cells following a heart attack.
Study reveals how changes in pupil size affect the way we perceive our surroundings.
Researchers have designed a new model of life expectancy that's based less on disease diagnosis, and more on other factors including cholesterol levels and lifestyle.
A new study offers guidelines and methods for consistently generating high-quality, well-structured brain organoids.
