Recent research published in Nature Neuroscience provides a detailed cellular map of how physical activity remodels the brain ...

The human brain is much more flexible than we ever thought. New studies have begun to suggest that, even in adulthood, the ...

Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

Long before memory problems appear, your brain may already be losing neurons. That is the unsettling message from new work by ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine, led by Bindu Paul, an associate professor of pharmacology, psychiatry and neuroscience ...

Clearing out “aged” brain cells dramatically reduced seizures and restored memory in a new epilepsy study.

A new study suggests temporal lobe epilepsy may be linked to early aging of certain brain cells. When researchers removed these aging cells in mice, seizures dropped, memory improved, and some animals ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

Temporal lobe epilepsy, which results in recurring seizures and cognitive dysfunction, is associated with premature aging of ...
