New research from UAB reveals how tau seeds spread through connected neurons in Alzheimer’s disease. Findings show that ...

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 ...

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 memory ...

Researchers have developed a cutting-edge technique that uses RNA “barcodes” to map how neurons connect, capturing thousands ...

Summary: For decades, scientists have known that the protein tau acts like a wildfire in the brain, leaping from region to region and leaving a trail of cognitive decline. Now, a decade-long study has ...

A single week of intensive meditation and mind-body practices led to measurable changes across the brain and body. Researchers observed improved brain efficiency, boosted immune signaling, and ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a protein, FTL1, that accelerates brain ageing. Experiments in mice show that ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

A new technique tags neurons with RNA barcodes to identify synaptic connections through sequencing. It allows rapid mapping ...
