A newly identified GABAergic pathway in mice lets the brain toggle between updated and previous memories — a key insight for memory disorders.
MIT's self-organizing laser creates ultra-sharp brain images 25x faster, enabling real-time tracking of drugs crossing the blood-brain barrier.
New review maps how α-synuclein assays may detect Parkinson's before symptoms appear — and what stands between lab and clinic.
A landmark review argues neurodegeneration is driven by interacting misfolded proteins, not single culprits — reshaping diagnosis and treatment.
A new review reveals that disrupted mito-nuclear signaling may precede amyloid and tau pathology, opening fresh therapeutic targets for Alzheimer's.
A Framingham study of 2,844 adults links impaired endothelial function to higher Alzheimer's risk, brain shrinkage, and white matter damage.
A new AI classifier using just 15 proteins achieves 95.5% AUC accuracy across Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, FTD, and Lewy body dementia.
New research reveals how the brain decides which memories to link — and which to keep separate — with major implications for cognition and dementia.
New research links internalized stress and hopelessness to faster memory decline, pointing to a modifiable risk factor for cognitive aging.
New research reveals brain movement inside the skull is mechanically driven by abdominal contractions, not heartbeat or breathing.
Neuroscientist Dr. Tommy Wood breaks down diet, exercise, supplementation, and cognitive stimulation strategies to protect brain health across your lifespan.
New single-nucleus RNA sequencing reveals immature neurons persist in aged human hippocampus and may actively support cognitive resilience in Alzheimer's disease.
