A study led by Dr. Marco Bocchio in the Durham University Department of Psychology reveals how specific brain cells called ...

The process of creating new brain cells is called neurogenesis. Researchers first observed neurogenesis after birth in lab animals of various ages, including mice, rats and songbirds.

Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process.

Overlooked cells might explain the human brain's huge storage capacity. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 11, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2025 / 05 / 250527180917.htm ...

These results provide a highly detailed map for which brain cells may be most affected by aging,” said Richard J. Hodes, M.D., director of NIH’s National Institute on Aging.

This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks that govern thought, behavior, and consciousness. It also explores how ...

We tend to think of silence as empty space. The absence of sound. But, it turns out that quiet isn’t passive at all. In fact, after just three days of intentional silence, the brain begins to ...

The cells that experienced the biggest changes were the ones in the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that is linked to food intake, energy balance and metabolism, the researchers noted.

Imagine you’re on a first date, sipping a martini at a bar. You eat an olive and patiently listen to your date tell you about his job at a bank. Your brain is processing this scene, in part, by ...

After consuming the particles, the cells became bloated, turning into oblong-shapes that clustered inside blood vessels and blocked blood flow. The shapes were just the right diameter to jam blood ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have developed a groundbreaking therapy for Alzheimer’s disease by using stem cells to program human immune cells for targeted treatment.
