A recent PNAS study reports a BACE inhibitor can reduce the amount of amyloid beta in animal models of Alzheimer's disease. By reducing amyloid beta levels, researchers noticed a significant improvement in memory performance.
Researchers have observed, in real time, the formation and repair of myelin sheaths around nerve fibers.
Age related neurodegeneration may be delayed by preventing oxidative damage in a few neuron types, researchers report.
Researchers have successfully printed microelectrode arrays onto gelatin candies and other soft materials. They report the technique could pave the way to creating new medical diagnostic tools.
Researchers report a neural network called the isthmic system helps us to select visual objects that catch our attention.
Study reveals the brain yields at least three different responses to pain, and these responses are independent of each other.
A study of over 200,000 people found no evidence that vaccinations increase the risk of developing multiple sclerosis, or the onset of an initial MS episode.
People with functional dizziness do not appear to process sensory-motor impression correctly. Instead, they rely on a stored memory model which no longer matches immediate reality.
Researchers have identified a neural circuit in the brain of fruit flies that help them perform to their best ability while searching for food.
The activity of a network of dopamine neurons reflects both the innate preferences for smell and taste, as well as the physiological state of fruit flies.
A new study discusses the key challenges of the fusion between neuroscience and robotics.
A new technique allowed researchers to evaluate the distribution of lithium levels in the human brain. Findings revealed those without depression had significantly more lithium in the brain's white matter than in gray matter. By contrast, those with depression or suicidal ideations had more balanced distribution of lithium in both white and gray matter.
