Somewhere in the tangle of a brain under siege by Parkinson’s disease, immune cells appear to be doing something remarkable: ...
Scientists have created a new way to map how brain cells connect by assigning each neuron a unique molecular “barcode.” Using ...
A tiny switch in DNA allows neurons to change their function depending on the environment and alter behavior in worms.
Researchers in Spain have found that chaperone-mediated autophagy, a selective protein cleanup process, is markedly reduced in the motor neurons of ALS patients. The deficiency may contribute to toxic ...
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a potential brain-driven mechanism behind the physical benefits ...
