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.
Inflammation in the brain prevents cells from accessing the iron they need in order to perform a critical role in neurodevelopment.
Researchers report motor problems associated with preterm birth could be due to defects in peripheral nerves.
Researchers discovered an important component of myelination following birth that could help treat neurodegenerative diseases.
Researchers discover the axons of auditory neurons which respond to low and high frequency sounds differ in morphology. These variations correlate with differences in the speed of signal conduction.
A new study has identified a gene that appears to be associated with binge eating.
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.
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 successfully created stem cell derived brain cells which can generate oligodendrocytes, neurons and astrocytes.
Researchers look at the potentially negative role exposure to some common chemicals can have on brain development and IQ.
While many of us find the sound of a person chewing or breathing heavily annoying, for those with misophonia, such noises are unbearable. Researchers have identified the neural networks and brain changes associated with the disorder.
