A large-scale atlas of mouse brain cells has revealed that aging does not affect all brain cell types equally. Some cell ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years. Though ...

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when lysosomes, the cellular sanitation machines responsible for those tasks, break down or ...

Researchers have recorded distinct electrical activity patterns from lab-grown brain organoids derived from people with ...

Researchers have shown in mice that brain cells known as astrocytes are required for a signaling chemical called norepinephrine to modify brain activity, changing the textbook understanding that ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to ...

By growing miniature brain models from patient cells, researchers have identified distinct electrical activity patterns ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...
