Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

When myelin breaks down, white matter in the brain deteriorates, a change commonly seen with aging. At the same time, microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, can shift from protective responders ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows ...

Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to construct new maps of mouse brains showing a precise location of more than 10 ...

While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s disease. Because the condition is ...

New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

Lead researcher Orly Lazarov, a neuroscience professor at UIC College of Medicine, and her team started by studying the ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue that holds neurons together, but glial cells can also be helpful in promoting ...

An investigation by researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in the US has filled in a missing link between the toxic build-up of proteins in the neurodegenerative condition ...

Part of healthy aging is taking care of your brain. Experts recommend these foods that support brain health and memory as ...
