Neuroscientists probing the gene changes behind Alzheimer’s disease have developed a process of making a “meta-cell” that overcomes the challenges of studying a single cell.

New research indicates a highly selective agonist of the 5-HT4 type serotonin receptor can increase resting-state functional connectivity in certain brain regions. This may lead to alternative treatment options for depression.

A new artificial intelligence-based technique for measuring fluid flow around the brain’s blood vessels could have big implications for developing treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

Seeing the dead triggers R2/R4 neuronal activation, leading to reduced lifespans.

A pioneering study has made significant strides in understanding the elusive gut-brain connection, a complex relationship that has long puzzled scientists due to the difficulty of accessing the body's interior.

A decade after UC San Francisco scientists identified an over-the-counter antihistamine as a treatment for multiple sclerosis, researchers have developed an approach to measure the drug’s effectiveness in repairing the brain, making it possible to also assess future therapies for the devastating disorder.

Research into neuron-to-neuron communication has uncovered proteins that might link disruptions in these electrical pathways to conditions like autism and epilepsy.

Scripps Research and University of Bologna scientists showed how excessive alcohol consumption in animals can hasten cognitive decline in those genetically predisposed to Alzheimer’s disease.

New research has indicated that motor neurons affected by ALS can be restored by magnetic field therapy, offering a new therapeutic avenue for neurodegenerative diseases.

Without key extracellular protein, neuronal axons break and synaptic connections fall apart.
