Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

The ambitious effort to chart every neuronal connection in the brain—connectomics—has long been held back by slow, expensive, and technically demanding imaging workflows. In this proof-of-concept ...

Alzheimer's is a devastating disease that results in memory loss and cognitive decline. It's caused by brain cells dying and the brain itself shrinking from a buildup of proteins. Millions of seniors ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

Scientists have successfully mapped the brain neurons (neurons) activated when mice make decisions, marking the first large-scale recording of individual neuron activity across the entire mouse brain.

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain’s neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...

Accomplishing this requires a complex logistical operation within the neuron to quickly and precisely deliver the necessary supplies to remodel the strengthening connection. Cellular railroad switches ...
