The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

A newly identified enzyme appears to control tau production, brain inflammation, and aging. Researchers at the University of ...

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University in Sweden. Knowledge of ...

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

Researchers found that excessively activated neurons over time, rather than decreased neuronal activity, cause aging-related decline in brain function in nematodes. A study of nematodes by researchers ...

University of New Mexico researchers found that the immune enzyme OTULIN drives tau production, brain inflammation and aging.

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.
