How does APOE4 cause Alzheimer's? A new study identifies the Nell2 protein as the driver of neuron shrinkage and brain ...
The findings show that APOE4-induced Nell2 production alters neuron size and activity, contributing to Alzheimer’s risk. Suppressing Nell2 restored normal function, pointing to a potential early ...
We often think of memory as stable—a mental archive that stores experiences in neat, retrievable files. But what if those files quietly shift positions, even when the original experience hasn’t ...
Research reveals why misplaced neurons in the brain are overactive and lead to developmental disorders. When neurons do not migrate to their proper place during brain development, it causes ...
In a new study, Northwestern University neurobiologists found the brain’s internal GPS changes each time we navigate a familiar, static environment. This means that if someone walks the same path ...
A group of nerve cells essential for cognition may be especially vulnerable to DNA damage upon exposure to inflammation in MS.
The cells with electrophysiological activity obtained at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) are opening up new avenues for the study of neurodegenerative diseases and the development of ...
Scientists have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control metabolism, body temperature and energy use. A team of researchers discovered which chemicals influence the signals ...
