Cell death in dementia has long posed a frustrating problem. Toxic proteins pile up inside neurons in Alzheimer’s disease and ...
While early in life, the accumulation of iron appears to have little effect on neuron function, later in life, it can ...
A tiny implant placed in a Michigan woman’s brain is now carrying a very big question. Can a fully implanted, wireless device ...
ALS and other motor neuron diseases are increasing in Europe, with a 2.8% annual prevalence rise. This rise is partly due to ...
New Salk Institute research reveals how aging brains accumulate iron, leading to neuronal vulnerability and diseases like ...
A new MIT study that focuses on a single cell in one of nature's simplest nervous systems provides an in-depth illustration of how individual neurons can use multiple means to drive complex behaviors.
Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.
The use of Bio 3D nerve conduits is a promising approach for peripheral nerve reconstruction. This study aimed to assess their safety in three patients with peripheral nerve defects in their hands. We ...

Coherent activations of brain neuron networks underlie many physiological functions associated with various behavioral states. These synchronous fluctuations in the electrical activity of the brain ...
In C. elegans worms, a single neuron named HSN uses multiple chemicals and connections to orchestrate egg-laying and locomotion over the course of several minutes. A new MIT study that focuses on a ...
