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

The brain's ability to do everything from forming memories to coordinating movement relies on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time. But directly measuring this protein production, ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

Study identified numerous influential “hub genes” that offer promising new targets for early detection and therapeutic intervention.

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

Memory can be broken down into multiple types, including long-term memory, short-term memory, explicit and implicit memory, and working memory. Memory is a process in your brain that enables you to ...

Researchers led by Min Zhang and Dabao Zhang of the University of California, Irvine's Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health have created the most detailed maps to date showing how genes ...

When cells are healthy, we don’t expect them to suddenly change cell types. A skin cell on your hand won’t naturally morph into a brain cell, and vice versa. That’s thanks to epigenetic memory, which ...

When most of us picture the brain, we imagine billions of nerve cells flashing with electrical activity, carrying thoughts, memories and commands from one region to another. Those cells, called ...
