Researchers have discovered a compound which could counter Parkinson's disease in two ways at once.
Researchers have identified a molecular program which spurs the growth of neuronal output connections.
New research finds the pain of social rejection might not prompt the same brain response as physical pain, as previously thought.
Using a line of genetically modified mice, researchers discover boosting acetylcholine can disturb cognitive function.
A long-term study suggests deep brain stimulation has good success rates and lasting benefits for patients with hereditary dystonia.
Researchers discover by looking at amyloid-beta and tau independently that the interaction between the proteins could be the key to the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease. As the interaction between the two proteins increased, the progression of Alzheimer's worsened.
Researchers discover Diapocynin, a synthetic molecule derived from apocynin, protects neurobehavioural function in transgenic mice with Parkinson's disease symptoms. The molecule helps prevent deficits in motor coordination.
Researchers develop a flexible carbon-nanotube 'harpoon' to study individual brain neurons. The 'brain harpoon' harnesses the electromechanical properties of carbon nanotubes to capture the electrical signals generated by single neurons.
A new study examines the relationship of fMRI maps of the brain's resting state with the brain's underlying neurological and anatomical structure.
Researchers engineered microscopic probes which light up synapses in living neurons by attaching fluorescent markers onto synaptic proteins without affecting the neuron's ability to function.
Performing post-mortem staging of the brains and spinal cord tissue of patients with ALS, researchers discover the neurodegenerative disease could progress from one start point in the CNS to other regions of the brain and spinal cord.
Examining the brains of Drosophila fruit flies, researchers discover a novel stem cell mechanism which could help explain how neurons form in humans.
