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.
A new study reports researchers have discovered a previously unknown relationship between brain function and structure. The findings could help explain how communication breaks down in diseases such as multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia.
Researchers look at the potentially negative role exposure to some common chemicals can have on brain development and IQ.
A new study has identified a gene that appears to be associated with binge eating.
Glial cells pass on metabolites to neurons. Around 100 billion neurons in the human brain enable us to think, feel...
CHD8, a gene associated with autism plays a significant role in oligodendrocyte development, researchers report.
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.
Myelin thickness and oligodendrocytes were significantly reduced in the prefrontal cortex in mouse models of Williams syndrome.
Researchers describe the mechanical forces at play during myelination.
Researchers discovered an important component of myelination following birth that could help treat neurodegenerative diseases.
Researchers report a novel combination of MFGM, lactoferrin and prebiotics added to a DHA and ARA formula advanced brain development in piglets. This advanced formula could potentially be used on human babies.
Researchers have developed a new method to capture how brain cells communicate with greater precision.
