Scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz have discovered that while brain neuron changes, including cell loss, may ...

A vanishingly rare genetic glitch in a single enzyme can erase a newborn’s brain cells in a matter of weeks, leaving doctors ...

Scientists have traced a devastating pattern of brain cell loss in a handful of families to a single, ultra-rare mutation ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

Study finds ultrathin tubes connecting brain cells that transport Alzheimer's proteins. The network changes months before ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on aging research on January 8, 2025. The collection of reviews and perspectives reflects the progress made in ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.

An interactive toolbox for standardizing, validating, simulating, reducing, and exploring detailed biophysical models that can be used to reveal how morpho-electric properties map to dendritic and ...

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

Nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord are wrapped in an insulating sheath known as myelin. For a long time, this barrier, ...
