Mice deficient in the NFIA gene presented astrocytes with defective shapes and altered functions in the hippocampus. Read More
Microglia, key immune cells in the brain, may play a significant role in memory retention. Read More
A new study finds protein synthesis in dendrites could be responsible for long-term memory formation in the brain, in addition to other functions. Read More
Following surgery, the brains of children with epilepsy are able to remap and compensate for damaged areas of the visual cortex. The findings shed light on brain plasticity. Read More
Children with Tourette syndrome could benefit from behavioural therapy to reduce their symptoms, according to a new brain imaging study.... Read More
Researchers report neurogenesis underlies the brain's capacity to create and store new memories. Exercise, researchers report, promotes neurogenesis and increases hippocampal capacity. Read More
According to a new Journal of Alzheimer's Disease study, common genetic variants in amyloid precursor protein are associated with fluid intelligence in children. Read More
Student and prof. study suspected link to hyper-excitability factors in epilepsy, autism and more. A UT Dallas undergraduate’s research is... Read More
Using a new advanced imaging technology, researchers capture new patterns of molecular organization as connections between neurons strengthen during learning tasks. Read More
Researchers have developed a synthetic synapse that mimics natural synaptic plasticity. They believe the synthetic synapse could help improve electronics and bring us one step close to human like artificial intelligence. Read More
