Cell death in dementia has long posed a frustrating problem. Toxic proteins pile up inside neurons in Alzheimer’s disease and ...

Over the past decade, researchers at WashU Medicine have established that a molecule called SARM1 is a central trigger in the ...

Researchers identified VIP inhibitory neurons in Huntington’s disease and used optogenetics to restore motor neuron activity in mice.

Digging deep into the molecular mechanisms behind ALS, researchers at the Les Turner ALS Center at Northwestern Medicine have ...

McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes ...

In mice, a brain protein called Arc helps spread toxic molecules from sick brain cells to healthy ones. If therapies could be ...

Alzheimer's disease is driven by a buildup of a toxic protein called Tau that kills neurons. As toxic Tau spreads to new ...

The Australian state of New South Wales is set to be the first jurisdiction in the world to make motor neuron disease (MND) a notifiable condition. Classifying MND in this way means that any new cases ...

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.
