A new study, recently published in the journal Nature Communications, is leading to a new understanding of how immune cells ...

New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during ...

The study reveals that hippocampal microglia actively regulate adult neurogenesis. When TGF-beta signaling is absent, ...

A new study has demonstrated how networks of spiking nanolasers could emulate a key principle of brain function: to imagine ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

In Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, a protein called tau can pile up inside brain cells and form toxic clumps. Those clumps help drive memory loss and other symptoms.

What makes the human brain different from that of other primates has long been a question. A new study suggests that the answer may be in a surprising twist of evolutionary fate: one of the brain’s ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

AI-powered gene maps reveal the hidden control centers driving Alzheimer’s disease — and point to new hope for treatment.

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...
