Axon myelination is significantly disrupted in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers also found brain cells of men and women vary significantly in how their genes respond to the neurodegenerative disease.
Visual preferences for faces and social scenes form within the first few months of life, a new study reports.
Researchers report synchrony of brain waves within three regions of the brain can 'break down' when visual working memory load becomes too extensive to handle.
The fusiform face area, an area of the visual cortex responsible for facial processing, develops much earlier than previously believed.
Researchers used magnetic nanodiscs that can be activated by external magnetic fields to mechanically stimulate cells. The new method may be a useful tool for researching neural responses.

Researchers propose a new theory of memory formation, reporting memory storage does not rely on the strengthening of connection between memory cells, but on the pattern of connections that form within the first few minutes of an event.
Researchers have come up with a new, noninvasive method of stimulating areas deep within the brain by using electrodes placed on the scalp.
Researchers have developed a new probe that can induce blood flow changes that allows for neuroimaging without the use of radioactive labels.
A new neuron labeling technique allows researchers to obtain a snapshot of their activity at any moment in time. The new approach could provide new insights into neural functioning by offering better precision than current, more long term, labeling techniques.
Human neurons have fewer ion channels compared to other animals. The reduced number of ion channels may have allowed the human brain to divert energy to other neural processes, researchers say.
