The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

Think your cerebellum only coordinates fluid movements? New 2026 research reveals how your "little brain" also creates the ...

Knowing which lysosomal proteins are enriched in which brain cell types will help better understand contribution to neurological disorders.

A clearance mechanism involving microglia has been known to relieve neurons of toxic protein aggregates such as those associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, this ...

The scientist Stephen Hawking lived with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common type of motor neuron disease, ...

In many ways, the brain is uncharted territory akin to the deepest parts of the ocean and farthest reaches of outer space. As with any new frontier, navigating it requires a map. Researchers have ...

Air pollution was associated with risk for developing motor neuron disease such as ALS and likely contributes to an accelerated disease course following a diagnosis for individuals in Sweden, ...

Fluctuations in brain activity, also known as neural variability, enable us to be flexible in adjusting our behavior to the current situation. A new study shows that neural variability increases ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu Even at relatively low pollution levels, chronic exposure to fine particles and nitrogen dioxide was ...
