Reducing neuroinflammation in the brain before cognitive impairment becomes apparent can help slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers have identified a novel role the RGS14 protein plays in limiting synaptic plasticity.
Researchers use optogenetics to reactivate happy memories and curb symptoms of depression.
Adult born granule cells appear to play a key role in memory encoding, a new study reports.
Dentate gyrus neurogenesis acts to replace lost neurons and restore function following massive neuron loss.
Newly identified 'extinction neurons' in the hippocampus suppress fearful memories when activated, and allow the memories to return when deactivated. The findings may provide new treatment avenues for PTSD, phobias, and anxiety.
Researchers have implicated mossy cells in both seizures and memory problems in those with temporal lobe epilepsy.
A new mouse study finds APOE genes, commonly associated with Alzheimer's disease, impairs the development of new neurons in areas of the brain associated with memory.
Although observed in other species, researchers report hippocampal neurogenesis does not persist through adult life in humans. Researchers say human hippocampal neurogenesis is not detectable in the adult brain.
According to new research, stress induced depression may be overcome by inducing neurons which were activated during previous positive experiences.
Researchers report a drug used to slow cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease may help to reverse memory and learning problems in teens who binge drink.
Researchers discover a potential new drug target for Alzheimer's disease.
