Researchers at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Multidisciplinary Sciences have now shown that, in addition to neurons, special glial cells in the brain also produce amyloid beta. This finding ...

New research reveals that cells outside the brain can store and process memories, challenging the view that memory is limited ...

How does the brain store—and access—our memories? While our understanding of the brain has (thankfully) developed greatly from the days of removing cerebral tissue to see what would happen, a precise ...

Researchers have successfully demonstrated how astroglia—cells that support the functioning of the brain—can be reprogrammed ...

It's common knowledge that our brains—and, specifically, our brain cells—store memories. But a team of scientists has ...

A new resource by Rappe et al (2024) now provides a spatiotemporal landscape of mitophagy changes during mouse brain aging at ...

By creating personalized brain 'organoids' in the lab, scientists showed how microRNAs impact brain development, and demonstrate how one drug can reverse critical cellular signs of autism.

In neurodegenerative diseases, microglia can help or harm the brain. In the October 3 Journal of Clinical Investigation, scientists led by Ilia Baskakov at the University of Maryland School of ...

The human brain is white and gray in color because it makes its very own cholesterol. Neurosteroids offer exciting novel ...

The increasing implication of glial cells in neurodegenerative diseases makes them an appealing addition to iPSC-based model systems for investigating disease mechanisms. Over the last decade, Dr.

An analysis of brains at various stages of Alzheimer's found that neurons called inhibitory neurons are the first to be affected by the disease.
