Researchers have identified a unique mitochondrial process in CA2 neurons that supports learning, memory, and social recognition.

The model calculations in the present study show that proteins are therefore preferably synthesized in the branched, tapering ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers found that the neuronal energy conservation program determines the location and ...

Enter SynPull, a new synaptosome imaging method developed by David Klenerman, John Danial, and colleagues at the University of Cambridge, England. SynPull combines single-molecule pull-down of ...

With the strong associations established in epidemiologic studies and a dearth of evidence on the actual mechanisms by which ...

As the U.S. population ages, more adults are developing thinking and memory problems, called mild cognitive impairment. Scientists have been looking for ways to prevent or delay this type of ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers from the ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

Scientists have pinpointed a brain circuit that, when activated, reduces anxiety without impairing memory. Using ...

A new study shows that microplastics are making their way into our brains, and that their concentrations are rising.

New study shows plastic accumulates in the brain, as well as other body parts. Scientists don't know what impact it has if any.
