A Cedars-Sinai study has identified a previously unknown role for astrocyte cells in how the brain responds to damage and ...
“This is a paradigm shift,” says Donn Van Deren, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, who conducted the research while working in human genetics at the University of ...
Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...
Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process. It opens ...
Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal ...
A vanishingly rare genetic glitch in a single enzyme can erase a newborn’s brain cells in a matter of weeks, leaving doctors ...
Avocados and walnuts both offer nutrients linked to memory, focus, and healthy aging. Here’s what dietitians say about how they compare—and how much to eat for real brain benefits.
The brain plays a big part in the aging process, and scientists think they’ve pinpointed the specific cells that control it. In a study of mice, researchers at the Allen Institute identified certain ...
A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...
