A study highlights an area of the brain that plays a key role in psychological loss and identifies new molecular targets that may alleviate its impact.

A study suggests that a dysfunction in the neurons’ synapses leads to deficits in dopamine and precedes Parkinson’s neurodegeneration.

Ubiquitin causes the FAM134B clusters to become more stable and the ER to bulge out more at these sites.

Researchers have unravelled the processes that give astrocytes, the most abundant glial cell in the brain, their special bushy shape, which is fundamental for brain function.

Researchers at Cedars-Sinai have created computer-generated models to bridge the gap between “test tube” data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain.

New research shows that rhythmic brain activity is key to temporarily maintaining important information in memory.

In the females, they observed more spontaneous apneic events (breathing pauses) and a decrease in brainstem serotoninergic neurons. 

Scientists have created a promising injectable cell therapy to treat osteoarthritis that both reduces inflammation and also regenerates articular cartilage.

Neuroplasticity is a fundamental process that enables the brain to grow, learn, and reorganise itself in response to various stimuli, experiences, and environments. 

A key feature of the severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis is an abrupt drop in blood pressure and body temperature.

Some areas of the adult brain contain quiescent, or dormant, neural stem cells that can potentially be reactivated to form new neurons.

Synthetic hydrogels were shown to provide an effective scaffold for neuronal tissue growth in areas of brain damage, providing a possible approach for brain tissue reconstruction.

A team from Nagoya University in Japan used the drug fasudil to reverse two common symptoms associated with schizophrenia.

Researchers have developed a new method to screen FDA-approved drugs to determine if they could be repurposed to help patients with a rare, debilitating disease of the nervous system.

“Use it or lose it” goes the adage, applied liberally to everything from our muscles to our minds, especially as we age.
