An international team of researchers, led by scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS), has identified a protein that regulates the growth of neurons by transporting key metabolic ...

To map the mammalian brain and its various functions with increasing precision, neuroscientists rely on high-resolution imaging techniques and other advanced experimental tools. These now include high ...

(Nanowerk News) Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers of the University of Technology in Delft ...

The brain, much like muscles, strengthens through challenge and rest. Neuroplasticity allows adult brains to form new ...

Researchers have synthesized enhanced vitamin K analogues that outperform natural vitamin K in promoting neuron growth. The new compounds, which combine vitamin K with retinoic acid, activate the ...

STOCKHOLM — A longstanding question in neuroscience has been whether the adult human brain continues to generate new neurons. Decades of conflicting studies left the issue unresolved, but a new study ...

One of the brain’s biggest benefits from exercise – the birth of new neurons – may not even require any movement. Instead, the beneficial “packages” circulating in the blood after working out can be ...

Psychedelic drugs, such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), can increase neuronal growth, which can have therapeutic effects for conditions such as schizophrenia. However, such drugs can induce ...
