A single damaged protein inside one brain cell may seem insignificant. Yet new research shows how that small mistake can ripple outward, spreading harm across the brain. Scientists at the Technion – ...

University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have revealed how the popular, low-carb ketogenic diet protects against epilepsy seizures and possibly neurodegenerative diseases such as ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a ...

The human brain draws its conclusions and perceives the world around it not only on the basis of the data it receives, but ...

Why some memories persist while others vanish has fascinated scientists for more than a century. Now, new research from the ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins have uncovered a surprising new way to influence brain activity by targeting a long-mysterious class of proteins linked to anxiety, schizophrenia, and movement disorders.

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

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Researchers at UVA Health say they have identified how the ketogenic diet helps prevent seizures in patients whose epilepsy does not respond to medication — a discovery ...

During brain development, neurons extend long processes called axons. Axons link different areas of the brain and carry signals within it and to the rest of the body. Growing axons "wire up" the brain ...

Scientists reveal the GluD brain protein's active role, offering new hope for mental health. Discover how this breakthrough ...
