A Cedars-Sinai study has identified a previously unknown role for astrocyte cells in how the brain responds to damage and ...

Scientists developed two new sensors that can detect brain cell communication in real time, tracking chemical messages ...

Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body.

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

Clearing out “aged” brain cells dramatically reduced seizures and restored memory in a new epilepsy study.

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. It opens ...

Brain organoids can be a good step forward, assuming they are grown from induced human pluripotent stem cells. That allows us to sidestep ethical concerns about the use of human embryos, thereby ...

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals).

In that case, you could get the last laugh. An October 2025 scientific review published in the journal Neuroscience described this gas as a “silent neuroprotector,” citing evidence that it may help ...
