Tau spreads through the human brain via neural communication pathways. The spread is accelerated by the presence of amyloid-beta.
Researchers reveal the social divide between chimps and humans isn't as clear cut as once thought. Observing both animals and visitors at a zoo, researchers discovered about 10% of the actions produced by one species was an imitation of the other species.
Researchers report they have discovered where the earliest signs of Alzheimer's may occur in the brain. Initial accumulation of Alzheimer's associated amyloid beta was discovered in an important functional network, the default mode network.
An experiment aimed to investigate how the brain interprets artificial touch sensation from a finger neuroprosthesis, has revealed new information for developing way to measure brain health.
Study reports tau accumulation in the temporal lobe was 75% higher in women than men.
According to researchers, intestinal bacteria can accelerate Alzheimer's development.
Researchers have identified four distinct subtypes of Alzheimer's disease. The findings could lead to more individualized treatments for those with the neurodegenerative disorder.
New studies may help to explain the path from stem cells to dopamine neurons.
Researchers have developed a new model of early embryonic brain development. The model, called MiSTR, allows researchers to create tissue that contains different brain regions and place them next to each other. The model produces results similar to embryonic brain development at five weeks post-fertilization.
Researchers find the brain's capacity to learn is created than previously thought.
The neuropeptide NPY reduces seizures in human brain tissue.
The answer to what makes the human brain unique may lie in junk DNA.
