Loss and dysfunction of synapses have been linked to age-related cognitive decline and observed in Alzheimer's and other ...

While ageing often brings mild memory lapses, new research suggests the human brain may continue to renew itself even in later years. A study published in the journal Nature has found strong evidence ...

Brains of older adults with super-healthy cognition grow more new neurons than those of their peers, according to a study ...

BrainAlignNet, AutoCellLabeler, and CellDiscoveryNet—to automatically track and identify neurons in moving worms and jellyfish.

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on aging research on January 8, 2025. The collection of reviews and perspectives reflects the progress made in ...

Neuron-powered computer chips can now be easily programmed to play a first-person shooter game, bringing biological computers a step closer to useful applications ...

A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age-related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain "waves"—rhythms ...

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 ...
