Neural stem cells affect the timing and trajectory of division in brain development more than previously thought, RIKEN researchers have found. This discovery could have important implications for our understanding of the evolution of the mammalian brain.

Scientists have revealed how the brain shuttles genetic code within its cells, a process believed to be crucial for the formation and storage of long-term memories.

A new study examines for the first time the activity of NCAM2 in the cortex and the hippocampus, brain structures where the function of this factor was so far unknown.

In a mouse model of Down syndrome, researchers discovered that administering specialized lipids help to reduce inflammation and prevent memory loss.

A new study suggests that the formation of fear memory involves the strengthening of neural pathways between two brain areas: the hippocampus and the amygdala.

Using structural analyses, researchers have identified a surprising biochemical mechanism in which a molecular chaperone plays an unusual role in tau aggregation.

Researchers have discovered that a tooth enamel protein could also play a role in dry age-related macular degeneration, potentially providing a new therapeutic target.

A project devised a novel approach for quantum error correction that could provide a key step toward practical quantum computers, sensors and distributed quantum information.

Using advanced microscopy and mathematical modeling, researchers have discovered a pattern that governs the growth of neurons.

A new study suggests that there are differences in brain circuitry that contribute to starvation and weight loss in people with anorexia nervosa.
