In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic ...

New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

“SuperAgers” with superb memories in their 80s and 90s produce more new brain cells than people some 50 years younger, according to a new study.

Scientists have completed the most detailed map ever made of an adult animal brain by charting every cell and connection in a ...

While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

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

Being able to understand speech is essential to our evolution as humans. Hearing lets us perceive the same word even when spoken at different speeds or pitches, and also gives us extra sensitivity to ...

A new study shows that prolonging cellular energy in brain cells helps transform fleeting experiences into lasting memories.

Tau proteins play an important role in our normal brain function, mainly by helping to stabilize neurons in the brain. But in Alzheimer’s disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have mapped a neural circuit in the brain involved in the complex relationship between itch and stress. Their findings, published in Cell Reports, ...

When you finish a run, your muscles may feel like they did all the work. But researchers at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) and ...

Researchers from The Universities of Manchester and Birmingham have identified the exact nerve cells in the brain that drive ...
