After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, forms an abnormal connection with an enzyme called ClpP. This enzyme normally ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

Alzheimer's disease has long been thought to be irreversible, but new research using a mouse model offers hope.

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

Among the newly identified brain cell types were some in the neocortex and the striatum region, which controls movement and certain other functions. Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells - one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...

Your brain is one of the most energy-hungry organs in your body, relying on a steady supply of nutrients to think, focus, and remember. Many of the foods that support overall health also help keep ...

A hidden communication network between brain cells and glioblastoma tumors may be key to slowing this aggressive cancer.

Drinks like green tea, coffee, berry smoothies, and others contain nutrients that can help support memory, focus, and overall brain health.

You could be doing your brain a solid without realizing it.

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...
