A new study reveals that losing cerebellar perineuronal nets drives autism social deficits by activating the ARNT2 pathway.

Utilizing both rat and mouse models of mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI), the research team isolated a novel, ...

Overactivation of dopamine neurons may directly drive their death, explaining why movement-controlling brain cells degenerate in Parkinson’s. Mice with chronically stimulated neurons showed the same ...

The retina is often referred to as an "outpost of the brain"—after all, important steps in visual signal processing do not take place in the cerebrum, but in the nerve cells in the eye. When light ...

The video I am watching feels like a scene from a horror movie. At the centre of the screen is a blood-red mass – in reality, a massively magnified pancreatic tumour, vividly dyed as if to highlight ...

Regenerating neurons may be one way to improve cognition. stanislavgusev/RooM via Getty Images Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory and learning in mice. But in humans, the technical ...

Scientists at the University of Gothenburg have pinpointed a group of nerve cells in the brain stem that appear to be responsible for semaglutide’s appetite- and weight-controlling powers—without ...

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental functions and memory loss. Along with frontotemporal dementia and some other neurodegenerative ...

Researchers at WashU Medicine have shown that a novel compound they developed can clear a harmful protein from human neurons modeling frontotemporal dementia (shown) and prevent those neurons from ...

New research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis adds to growing evidence that helping brain cells break down and eliminate their own cellular waste is a promising treatment ...
