What if a critical piece of the puzzle of brain aging has been hiding in plain sight? While neuroscience has long focused on proteins and DNA, a team of Stanford researchers dared to shift their gaze ...

Scientists have discovered how a key protein helps maintain strong connections between brain cells that are crucial for learning and memory. Results of the study, published in the journal Science ...

Researchers have used a new brain-mapping technique to identify memory-related brain cells vulnerable to protein buildup, a key factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease, an incurable, ...

Non-neuronal brain cells called tanycytes illuminated and color coded according to their depth in the hypothalamus brain of a mouse. They are one of the cell types in the mouse brain that show a large ...

Scientists uncover key proteins driving brain aging, offering critical insights into timing interventions to preserve brain health and combat neurodegenerative disorders. Study: Plasma proteomics ...

To think, act, and feel in any way, your brain requires access to large amounts of consistent energy. For most of us, that energy comes in the form of blood sugar (glucose), which is transported into ...
