Most of the tasks that humans complete daily entail carefully coordinating movements and tracking progress made toward a ...

Cell death in dementia has long posed a frustrating problem. Toxic proteins pile up inside neurons in Alzheimer’s disease and ...

The nervous system is primarily composed of neurons and glia, and the communication between them has profound roles in regulating the development and function of the brain. Neuron–glia signal ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect tens of millions of people worldwide. Among these, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases are the most common; in the United States alone, the Alzheimer's Disease ...

In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

When humans and other animals are in a calm state, they tend to breathe slower, and their heartbeat also slows down. Contrarily, when they are exercising or under psychological stress, both their ...

In a healthy CNS, neuronal computation arises from the intricate wiring of excitatory and inhibitory neurons and depends on the precise relationship between synaptic excitation and inhibition. Growing ...

While early in life, the accumulation of iron appears to have little effect on neuron function, later in life, it can ...

Researchers discover that the GPR3 receptor acts as an immediate-early gene to jumpstart neuron and synapse development.

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMS), i.e., laminin-1 or N-cadhedrin Adhesion and attractant Allow cells to grow along the surfaces of other cells (such as using pioneering axons for subsequent axons) ...

Neurons exposed to chronic iron overload do not simply die on contact. Instead, they enter a weakened, primed state that ...
