First study to suggest that the immune system may protect against Alzheimer’s changes in humans Recent work in mice suggested... Read More
A study shows social isolation during early life prevents the cells that make up the brain's white matter from maturing and producing the right amount of myelin, the fatty "insulation" on nerve fibers that helps them transmit long-distance messages within the brain. Read More
According to a new study, diabetic episodes of hypoglycemia may increase the risk of developing dementia, while having dimentia could increase the risk of experiencing low blood sugar levels. Read More
Using a line of genetically modified mice, researchers discover boosting acetylcholine can disturb cognitive function. Read More
Spontaneous waves neuronal activity bear imprints of earlier events for at least 24 hours after the experience has taken place, a new study finds. Read More
A new study offers insight into how a well-connected core brain network in the lateral prefrontal cortex and posterior parietal cortex, help coordinate the brain’s response to novel cognitive challenges. Read More
Researchers isolated a protein which is increased during indurance exercise and gave it to non-exercising mice. The protein turned on genes which promote brain health and encouage new neurons to grow. Read More
MAPC therapy reduces inflammation after TBI and also promotes lasting cognitive improvement, a new study reports. Read More
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly revives brain function and improves quality of live for those with TBI, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers explore synaptic mechanisms of rhythmic brain waves thanks to custom designed tools. Read More
Researchers discover the xanthohumol, a flavinoid found in hops, can improve cognitive function in young mice but not in older animals. Read More
Oscillating vibrations of inhibitory neurons could play a key role in cognitive function, researchers propose. Read More
