The system helped to protect against apoptosis associated with brain injury, stroke, and multiple sclerosis.
Muffled sounds experienced in the womb prime the brain’s ability to interpret some sounds and may be key for auditory development.
The FMNL2 gene links cerebrovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease, a new study reports. Changes of activity in the FMNL2 caused by cerebrovascular disease prevent the efficient cleaning of toxic proteins in the brain, leading to the development of Alzheimer's disease.
From keeping active and eating a healthy diet to controlling cholesterol and reducing sugar intake, researchers report on seven simple lifestyle changes older adults with genetic risk factors can make to reduce the chance of developing dementia.
Increasing synchronization of neurons in the upstream brain region that transmits information leads to a significant improvement in the transmission of information and information processing in the downstream region.
A new imaging technique captures information about the function and structure of brain tissue at the subcellular level.
The Cinderella Project aims to restore positive body image for survivors of breast cancer following mastectomy and reconstructive surgeries.
Motor areas of the cerebral cortex are dedicated to sonar production and wing control in Egyptian fruit bats.
Longer breastfeeding duration was associated with increased scores in cognitive tests in children from 5 to 14 years of age.
