Blocking the breakdown of a specific fat molecule in the the brains of mice lead to reduced learning ability and memory retention. Additionally, researchers noted an increase of Alzheimer's related proteins. Findings may help explain how dementia may develop in humans, researchers say.
Researchers report low doses of THC can help restore memory and reverse some of the effects of brain aging in mice. The findings could open new avenues for treating dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Researchers converted skin cells from patients with a rare congenital brain defect into pluripotent stem cells to generate brain organoids.
Researchers link a gene that encodes a serotonin transporter to social phobia.
Researchers use rabies viruses to see how well transplanted neural cells have connected to neural network in the brains of mice.
