A new study has identified a promising drug candidate that can protect neurons from further degeneration in mouse models of Parkinson’s disease.

A study by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) has identified high levels of “forever chemicals” in freshwater fish consumed in the United States (U.S.).

A new fluorescent dye that can cross the blood–brain barrier has been developed that can be used to differentiate between healthy brain cells and cancer cells.

Nutrition, as an impactful part of an organism's physiological state, seems to extend to all stages of life. A team of researchers has now found that regulatory mechanisms of nutrient-dependent neuronal development can be explored at the molecular level with appropriate models.

According to research, artificial neural networks inspired by natural nerve circuits in the human body give primates faster, more accurate control of brain-controlled prosthetic hands and fingers.

Our "little brain", the cerebellum, is a highly-folded structure that is notoriously difficult to fully visualize. Researchers at the Spinoza center have developed a new MRI method to image the cerebellum in unprecedented detail.

A study conducted at the University of Helsinki, Finland set out to determine how 13 dog breeds performed in various cognitive tests. With a sample size of over 1,000 dogs, the researchers found several breed differences in traits such as social cognition, problem-solving ability and inhibitory control.

According to a study, a new blood test can track and follow the neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease – and exclude other dementias.

Nail polish dryers that use UV light to cure gel manicures have been shown to damage DNA and cause cell death in cell lines, after just 20 minutes of exposure.

Researchers have uncovered the long-sought mechanism of a well-known but poorly understood process that produces solvated electrons via interactions between light and metal.
