A new study from Bar-Ilan University shows that one of sleep's core functions originated hundreds of millions of years ago in ...

Evogene and Unravel Biosciences are collaborating to use AI to speed the development of therapies that promote myelin sheath ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

The process of “epigenetic memory” in nerve cells plays a key role in learning ability, memory function, and healthy brain ...

Explore why tau still lacks treatments despite its critical role in Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies.

Neuronal calcium sensors (NCS) comprise a pivotal family of EF‐hand calcium‐binding proteins that translate transient fluctuations in intracellular Ca²⁺ into specific cellular responses. These ...

A study by IRB Barcelona unveils how the lack of a fraction of the CPEB4 protein causes a decrease in the expression of genes that are crucial for neuronal development. Published in the journal Nature ...

Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...

A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst is the first to show how proteins called "chaperones" are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When ...

For centuries humans have been keen on reversing age. Especially the cognitive decline that is linked to aging. Aging is ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...
