Neurodegenerative diseases affect tens of millions of people worldwide. Among these, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases are the most common; in the United States alone, the Alzheimer's Disease ...
A paper published in Nature Communications shows that when neurons are given information about the changing world around them (task-related sensory input) it changes how they behave, putting them on ...
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 ...
Excitation/inhibition balance is crucial to homeostatic brain function and disrupted in several neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases. Cortical inhibitory neurons derived from the medial ...
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 ...
The human brain holds a staggering number of connections, yet scientists have long struggled to explain how it stores so much information. A new study from MIT researchers suggests the answer may lie ...
A new study from the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience researchers may help explain an enduring mystery about ...
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 ...
Type I spiral ganglion neurons are peripheral neurons essential for hearing perception. While they can be subdivided in mice based on characteristic gene expression patterns, detailed examinations of ...
