Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

Explore the connection between neurodegeneration and cellular senescence in understanding brain structure and ageing.

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can continue to develop new brain cells into old age. Researchers at Sweden’s ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

Canadian researchers show that stress modifies the morphology of brain cells in mice, directly influencing the rodents' level of physical activity. Astrocytes in the lateral hypothalamus region of the ...

The human brain isn’t a blank slate waiting to be written by experience, according to research that challenges the century-old Tabula Rasa theory. The study shows that neurons grown in laboratory ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational har ...

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can usually see only half of that storm. Now, a new engineered protein finally ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...
