A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

A longevity-linked metabolite restored key memory processes in Alzheimer’s models, highlighting aging biology as a promising therapeutic target. Singapore ranks among the countries with the longest ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

When a new memory forms the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a “memory trace.” This memory trace represents the specific patterns of neuronal activity and ...

Researchers identify "meal memory" neurons in laboratory rats that could explain why forgetting lunch leads to overeating. Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Scientists may have discovered an innovative method to address one of the major challenges in neurodegenerative disease research. Last Friday, a study published in Science by researchers at Washington ...
