Gifu University scientists have uncovered how a brain-specific enzyme reshapes protein-linked sugar chains to facilitate the formation of complex glycans essential for normal brain function. These ...

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

New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion but rather progresses through five distinct phases separated by specific ...

There’s still a lot we don’t know about the brain, but so far experts have agreed that our thoughts, feelings and behavior ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

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

One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the clumping of proteins called Tau, which form tangled fibrils in the brain.

Neuroscientists are tracking the brain activity that underlies a cognitive breakthrough and unraveling how it might boost ...

Forget crowd sizes — a new study confirms that conservatives boast slightly larger amygdalas, the part of the brain that plays a key role in identifying and reacting to potential threats, compared ...
