Is the IDOL enzyme the key to stopping Alzheimer's? New research shows that blocking this single target can dissolve brain plaques and boost cognitive resilience.

It takes two to tango, and two to trigger Parkinson’s. New research identifies the "partners in crime" genes that work together to overwhelm the brain’s waste-management system.

The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals, while the latter support and protect ...

Indiana University School of Medicine scientists have identified a promising drug target for Alzheimer's disease. The team found that removing an enzyme from neurons in the brain substantially reduces ...

The research team discovered that Arvcf knockout significantly reduces the neuronal abundance within the VTA and weakens ...

WASHINGTON – A new finding from researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center shows that the learning process of associating cues with rewards can be altered by increased or decreased activity ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease, affecting more than ...

Researchers have long believed that neurons rely on glucose nearly entirely for fuel. The brain’s enormous energy requirements were presumed to be supplied by sugar alone, in contrast to muscle or ...

New research uncovers how the brain, immune system, and nervous system contribute to heart attack damage, revealing three nodes that could be targeted with new therapeutics.
