An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's ...

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.

A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

Building endurance isn't just about muscles, it's about the brain. A newly discovered neural circuit in the hypothalamus rewires itself after exercise to boost heart and muscle strength.

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal ...

Motor neurons are some of the largest cells in the human body. In particular, upper neurons—extending from the cerebral cortex to the brain stem or spinal cord—average 60μm in diameter. 3,4 These ...

A new study published in Psychiatry Research provides evidence that certain brain cells are physically smaller in individuals with schizophrenia and that this size difference is related to the ...

Chinese scientists succeed in multiplying millions of NK cells against cancer from a single donor, for more accessible therapies.
