The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate ...

ADHD is common and is progressively being recognized as a disorder affecting people across the lifespan. ADHD is associated ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

While diet changes have long been credited for long-term health benefits, it's not often for brain health. A new UNC study ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the ...

Our brains age along with the rest of our bodies, and as they do, they produce fewer new brain cells. Now, researchers have found a key mechanism through which the typical age-related decline in ...

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate communication network is built of billions of neurons connected by synapses ...

Studies have shown that in ALS patients, microtubules—which are the major component of the cell cytoskeleton and serve as tracks for transporting components from cell bodies to neuronal ...
