As Alzheimer's disease progresses, microglial cells lose two important biological functions affecting their ability to remove cell fragments and motility towards acute lesions.
Researchers question why numerous different RNAs are transported to synapses. One reason, they suggest, is that they are stored to later help maintain long-term memory.
Researchers find genetic mutations which appear to underlie a rare syndrome which combines reproductive failure with cerebella ataxi and dementia.
Researchers discover Sturge-Weber syndrome, a neurological and skin disorder, is caused by a genetic mutation which occurs prior to birth.
Researchers discovered a novel molecular target for the design of drugs which could be safer and more effective for multiple sclerosis, as well as other disorders associated with the loss of white matter in the brain.
New research suggests the integrity of the blood brain barrier is compromised for days after an ischemic stroke. This can lead to serious, life threatening complications. Repairing the BBB could prevent further complications.
Researchers have developed a device which records the brain activity of worms in order to test the effects of drugs.
Researchers uncover a key to the development of the peripheral nervous system, providing new hope to patients suffering from hereditary neuropathy.
A new study reports a single injection of human neural stem cells produce neuronal regeneration and improved the function and mobility of rats impaired by acute spinal cord injuries.
Researchers have been able to repair a defect responsible for Duchenne muscular dystrophy by using a novel genetic editing technique.
Researchers uncover clues about the biochemical pathway in the brain which could expand treatment options for schizophrenia.
New research suggests brain circuits which control obsessive compulsive behavior are intertwined with circuits which control food intake and body weight. The findings could have implications for treating obsessive compulsive disorder.
