Stressed brain cells can survive longer by slowing sugar use, revealing a short-term protective response that later turns ...

In March, Cognixion announced a clinical trial with late-stage ALS patients. Axon-R, which leading brain-computer interface ...

A tiny roundworm has helped University of Queensland scientists uncover minuscule structures in skin tissue that may protect ...

Findings could create new opportunities to treat and study neurodegenerative diseasesScientists discovered that sugar ...

Early diagnosis and noninvasive monitoring of neurological disorders require sensitivity to elusive cellular-level ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...

A new study in the Journal of Neurotrauma offers the first real-world solution to a long-standing problem in football: protecting players' brains from the silent damage of repeated head impacts.

During brain development, neurons extend long processes called axons. Axons link different areas of the brain and carry signals within it and to the rest of the body. Growing axons "wire up" the brain ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study, ...
