FOXO3, a gene linked to longevity in humans, protects neural stem cells from the negative effects of stress.
Researchers reveal stressful events result in epigenetic modifications within immediate early genes in hippocampal neurons.
A new drug has proven effective at restoring memories and neural connections in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. The new drug was originally developed as a treatment for Schizophrenia. While the drug does not destroy amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer's, it does allow the plaques to co-exist with neurons.
