A newly identified enzyme appears to control tau production, brain inflammation, and aging. Researchers at the University of ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

Adding rat stem cells to a mouse embryo resulted in a ‘hybrid brain’ in which the rat cells stepped in to restore function when the mouse’s sense of smell was removed, new research has shown. It’s the ...

For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

Scientists have developed a novel human brain organoid model that generates all the major cell types of the cerebellum, a hindbrain region predominantly made up of two cell types necessary for ...

Researchers have used a novel technique to 3D print brain tissue whose cells developed into functional neurons that communicated with each other in a matter of weeks. They say the approach could be ...

University of New Mexico researchers found that the immune enzyme OTULIN drives tau production, brain inflammation and aging.

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.
