Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time ...

Scientists in Japan say they have reversed the signs of Alzheimer’s disease in lab mice by restoring the healthy function of synapses, critical parts of neurons that shoot chemical messages to other ...

Old age is accompanied by more than just wrinkles. With age, it typically becomes harder for people to walk, stand up, and move as they used to. This decline in mobility is in part mediated by the ...

One of the brain's most celebrated qualities is its adaptability. Changes to neural circuits, whose connections are continually adjusted as we experience and interact with the world, are key to how we ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

The laboratory of Ege Kavalali, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, published a paper in Nature ...
