How does the brain turn experiences into memories? Scientists reveal how two neuron types control learning. Also: lynx rewilding, natural hydrogen, and avalanche risk.

A group of specialized cells play a crucial part in clearing toxic proteins from inside the brain 1. But in people with Alzheimer’s disease, these cells malfunction, leading to the build up of tau ...

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

Researchers create a massive single-cell atlas of the aging mouse brain, revealing how epigenetic changes and "jumping genes" drive neurodegeneration.

Until now, conventional 3D cell cultures have often been either too rigid or too unstable to realistically reproduce the ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

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 ...

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 ...

A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.

Accumulation of the protein tau in the brain is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. In a paper published in Cell ...
