Researchers have found that key brain cells may be damaged in overdose, and OUD itself resembles near-drowning victims. Serial neurological evaluations and neurorehab could help.

The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Major depression is not only a crisis of mood, it is also a crisis of biology that reshapes the brain itself. As genetic ...

A new study suggests that the long-term antidepressant effects of psychedelics may be driven by persistent changes in how neurons fire rather than by the permanent growth of new brain cell connections ...

For the first time, lab-grown human brain cells were implanted into rats, and successfully altered their behavior by integrating with their brains.

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

New research by UCLA Health and UC San Francisco has uncovered why certain brain cells are more resilient than others to the buildup of a toxic protein that is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

Microglia are the brain's immune cells that clean out debris, such as damaged proteins and old cell parts, to keep the organ ...

Johns Hopkins scientists reveal that “inactive” GluD brain proteins regulate neuronal communication and open up new ...

For some time, we've known that it's rare to see people with both cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Now, scientists believe ...
