Osaka University researchers show that salt crystals can precipitate at low concentrations owing to local density fluctuation and their repeated precipitation-dissolution behavior promotes aggregation of Amyloid-β peptides implicated in Alzheimer's.

Published in Neuron, the study reveals how the normal brain network function of hippocampus cells which works to discriminate a distinct spatial environment in a process called "remapping," was disrupted in Alzheimer's disease.

A new review looks at the effect that smoking and vaping may have on the cerebrovascular and neurological systems of COVID-19 patients.

Researchers have shown that inhibition of the soluble epoxide hydrolase enzyme (sEH) in murine models of Alzheimer's disease decreases the neuroinflammatory process, thereby improving the body’s endogenous response and reducing the deterioration and death of neurons that cause this type of dementia.

A research team reports the continuous survival of neurons is also intrinsically programmed during development.

Identifying neuron in the gut wall that communicates with spinal cord & brain.

Large-brained species such as macaques, gorillas or chimpanzees can solve much more complex tasks using their hands than primates with small brains such as lemurs or marmosets.

Olfactory support cells, not neurons, are vulnerable to novel coronavirus infection.

Study highlights dangers of COVID-19 spike after removal of health precautions.

A new study has examined how gene expression could be used to distinguish those patients with treatment-resistant depression from those who are responsive to medication.
