New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

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

In December 1993, former World Boxing Champion John Famechon, who had suffered a severe brain injury in August 1991, began participating in a new and novel multi-movement therapy ...

Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system ...

Cerebellar patients exhibit various motor impairments, but the sequence of primary and compensatory processes leading to these deficits remains unclear. To investigate this, we reversibly blocked ...

Immune cells called regulatory T cells have long been known for their role in countering inflammation. In the setting of ...

The Chinese study published in the journal Nature Aging measured levels in the brain of 13 specific proteins that are significantly associated with accelerated brain ageing and neurodegenerative ...

Scientists create cellular atlas for maturing minds in mouse model SEATTLE — What if we could pinpoint exactly where aging begins in the brain? Scientists at the Allen Institute have done just that, ...

During that time, lots of alcohol in the "queue" is spilling out into our bloodstream, running around the body and infiltrating the brain, biding time until the liver is ready for it. This is how ...

Cognitive function was evaluated using the Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE). MRI scans were systematically assessed for the presence and severity of white matter ...
