In a study published in Neuron, Ciaran Murphy-Royal, researcher at the Center de recherche du Center hospitalier de ...

The human brain holds a staggering number of connections, yet scientists have long struggled to explain how it stores so much ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

Increased expression of the Ang‐II (Angiotensin II) precursor AGT in aged astrocytes lead to increased Ang‐II signaling from aged astrocytes to endothelium, thus increasingblood–brain barrier (BBB) ...

A fall on the head, a blow to the skull, or a road traffic accident—the causes of traumatic brain injury are diverse, but the ...

One of the biggest mysteries of the brain is how memories are formed. For over a century, scientists have hypothesized that neurons are the only cells involved in storing and recalling memories. Now, ...

A newly published study in Protein and Cell identifies glutamine synthetase, an enzyme concentrated in brain support cells ...

Scientists have developed a promising new approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease by turning ordinary brain cells into powerful plaque-clearing machines. Instead of requiring frequent antibody ...
