Researchers find that altered Homer1 gene signaling quiets brain activity and improves attention in mice, raising new ...

Just light exercise—10 or 20 minutes of walking a day—can be enough to take the edge off. The Centers for Disease Control and ...

Macaques are often studied because their brains share many similarities with human brains. However, this study revealed an ...

BBC health and science correspondent James Gallagher finds out if it is scientifically possible to ever cure Alzheimer's ...

When there are fewer dendritic spines, fewer synapses are formed, and brain cells struggle to communicate properly. This ...

Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), the Kanazawa University team led by Mikihiro Shibata filmed the dynamic movements of CaMKII at the single-molecule level. The images revealed that a ...

Maintaining the heart’s connection to the vagus nerve may be a key defense against cardiac aging. Researchers showed that ...

Nonlinear dendritic integration in single presubicular neurons provides a mechanism for combining vestibular-based head-direction signals and visual landmark signals to anchor the brain’s internal ...

A new study suggests temporal lobe epilepsy may be linked to early aging of certain brain cells. When researchers removed these aging cells in mice, seizures dropped, memory improved, and some animals ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals).

Researchers have developed a new way to decipher the language of the brain by listening to and recording the fastest and ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.
