Irisin, a hormone released during exercise, appears to directly shield neurons from damage in a mouse model of multiple ...

Summary: A neuroimmunology study uncovered the cellular mechanism decoding why exercise improves neurological symptoms in multiple sclerosis (MS). The research demonstrates that irisin, a hormone ...

Researchers have used microRNA-based direct reprogramming to generate neurons from fibroblasts, providing new insights into late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Aging is the most significant risk factor ...

The spread of tau protein aggregates in the brain—a process that drives cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia—has been studied with a model that incorporates human ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain’s electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain “waves”—rhythms ...

Neuronal death is the indisputable endgame of Alzheimer’s disease, but what does the killing, and how? To try to solve the mystery, researchers have staged increasingly complex crime scenes in ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, researchers investigated the contributions of oligodendrocytes (OLs) and neurons to amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque burden in Alzheimer's disease ...
