Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile ...

For a long time, neuroscientists treated this forgetting as a cognitive glitch or a simple lack of brainware maturity. But a ...

Neuroscientists are tracking the brain activity that underlies a cognitive breakthrough and unraveling how it might boost ...

That’s only one problem. Your immune system also has an adaptive system of specialized immune cells and antibodies that attack and destroy invading microbes. This system remembers what those intruders ...

Complex sugar-protein molecules that sense external messages to help a cell grow or respond to its environment can now be ...

During brain development, neurons extend long processes called axons. Axons link different areas of the brain and carry ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...

Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have created a molecule that naturally forms p/n junctions, structures that are ...

For a long time, the study of the brain has largely focused on neuronal cells. However, neurons develop and interact closely together in space and time with ...

About 1 million Americans suffer from Parkinson's disease, with around 90,000 new cases diagnosed each year, according to the ...
