Ageing slows brain protein clearance and shifts synaptic waste to microglia
By Vijay Kumar Malesu New mouse data reveal that ageing neurons struggle to clear synaptic proteins, shifting the burden to ...
Scientists identify a "master regulator" that may reset Brain Aging by controlling tau and gene expression in neurons.
A study of nematodes by researchers at Nagoya University in Japan has found that aging-related decline in brain function is caused by the excessive activation of certain neurons over time, rather than ...
Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The study found that a simplified artificial ...
The brain’s sneakiest houseguest: how a parasite rewrites neuron messages and alters neuroplasticity
Infection with the neurotropic pathogen Toxoplasma gondii induced release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) with microRNAs ...
The mini review brings together emerging evidence showing that glial cells actively influence disease progression and ...
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 ...
Neurodegenerative disorders are defined by progressive neuronal dysfunction and death, in which oxidative stress is recognized as a central contributor to ...
Synaptic transmission is an energy hog. It requires neurons to tap ATP reserves to respond to incoming signals. How do they pull this off, thousands to millions of times per day? A new study ...
