A new study published in Nature Aging provides evidence that a single protein in the brain may play a central role in ...

Understanding how new neurons affect brain function throughout adulthood can offer new approaches to treating epilepsy and dementia.

Cellular differentiation of stem cells into specialized cells requires many steps, including division, to create more cells; fate determination, which is a commitment to a specific lineage or ...

Findings point to promising strategies to rescue nerves in the brain’s hippocampus from ageing and Alzheimer’s ...

Importantly, our finding that new neurons function differently in mice and in humans emphasizes the critical need to study biological functions like neurogenesis in people whenever possible. This will ...

Adding rat stem cells to a mouse embryo resulted in a ‘hybrid brain’ in which the rat cells stepped in to restore function when the mouse’s sense of smell was removed, new research has shown ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to ...

Researchers at Kyushu University have discovered that turning brain immune cells into neurons successfully restores brain function after stroke-like injury in mice.

How the brain largely maintains its function when neurons are lost – this is what researchers at the University Medical Center Mainz, the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS) and Hebrew ...

For more than eighty years, deep learning has relied on a simplified model of brain function. Now, a Pittsburgh startup ...
