Dampening retromer activity slows down the trafficking of tau in neurodegenerative disorders, a new study reports.
Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation applied to the motor cortex can help improve age-related impairments in learning new motor skills.
A new protocol for differentiating human embryonic stem cells to RPE cells could be a safe and effective approach for treating age-related macular degeneration.
Using algebraic topography, researchers have created an algorithm that requires only a few examples to generate a large number of unique cells.
An innovative new system that includes electronic implants directly onto the spinal cord reactivates neurons that control blood pressure, allowing a patient with multiple system atrophy-parkinsonian type (MSA-P) to retain consciousness when she is in an upright position.
Stress experienced during peripuberty leads to an increase in adipose fat and a reduction in sociability in young adolescents.
Each person has a specific brain "fingerprint", and that fingerprint changes over the course of our lives, a new study reports.
Study reveals how miniature release events help to keep neurons intact and preserve motor neuron function in aging insects.
Researchers facilitated the extinction of long-term traumatic memories in mice by enhancing activity in the nucleus reuniens.
A new retinal implant that works in conjunction with camera-equipped smart glasses and a microcomputer provides blind people with "artificial vision" by stimulating retinal cells.
Study identifies specific neurons that help activate sensory processing in nearby nerve cells. The findings suggest ways the brain integrates signals essential for tactile perception and learning.
A new wearable sensor can measure cortisol levels in a person's sweat.
