Scientists identify a "master regulator" that may reset Brain Aging by controlling tau and gene expression in neurons.

Researchers have identified OTULIN, an immune-regulating enzyme, as a key trigger of tau buildup in the brain. When OTULIN ...

A single damaged protein inside one brain cell may seem insignificant. Yet new research shows how that small mistake can ...

Modeling the human brain requires charting billions of neurons and trillions of connections. The connectome project is ...

For more than a century, Alzheimer’s disease has been framed as a slow catastrophe that begins inside the brain and stays ...

TL;DR: Scientists at the National University of Singapore have developed a silicon transistor that mimics biological neurons and synapses, offering a scalable and energy-efficient solution for ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

A large barrier in neuroscience is the ability for researchers to conduct studies on a live, functioning brain without surgery or implanting probes. Today researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of ...

Researchers have long believed that neurons rely on glucose nearly entirely for fuel. The brain’s enormous energy requirements were presumed to be supplied by sugar alone, in contrast to muscle or ...

New brain imaging research shows grip strength is linked to activity deep in the aging brain, offering clues to early ...
