Each brain is unique, not only in its connections but also in the molecular composition of its neurons, particularly ion channels. Despite their variability, the brain functions reliably -- a paradox ...

Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, along with stroke, are among the top three neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by the malfunction and progressive degeneration of neurons.

In a new study, an aging clock has revealed neuron-specific aging, as well as potentially neuroprotective compounds.

Researchers have identified the biological mechanism triggering neurodegenerative diseases ALS and frontotemporal dementia. By targeting the C9ORF72 gene, they halted toxic protein synthesis ...

Persistent inflammation may influence neurodegeneration through microglial activation, yet evidence remains hypothesis driven ...

Researchers from the NeuroEngineering Laboratory at the University of Liège have revealed a fascinating brain mechanism: The ability of neurons to maintain reliable functions despite significant ...

Within the human brain, a region known as the left angular gyrus and the way that it “tracks time” have emerged as a crucial player in the development of Alzheimer's disease. Tokyo, Japan - ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cognito Therapeutics, a neurotechnology company developing disease-modifying therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, announced today publication of MRI imaging ...

SMA pathology affects a wider range of cells, including astrocytes and microglia, beyond alpha motor neurons. Advanced techniques revealed significant ventral horn neuron loss and abnormal morphology ...
