Scientists Grew Human Brain Tissue Inside Mice and It Actually Worked
Side view of a mouse brain showing nerve fibers from the human graft, labeled in green and red,…
Scientists traced a hidden immune route that may worsen tau-linked brain damage
Researchers traced an immune pathway from brain-draining lymph nodes to tau-affected tissue, revealing how peripheral immune activity may…
Neurogenesis stalls in the brains of adults with major depressive disorder, study shows
Most of our brain’s 100 billion neurons are created before we’re born, but the trickle of neurons created in the adult brain hippocampus could be instrumental in preventing depression, suggest findings from a new…
Estrogen fluctuations reshape brain connections, new study finds
A new study out of the University of Delaware shows that fluctuations in estrogen influence the brain, helping…
Childhood trauma affects brain pathways linked to adult anhedonia
Experiencing trauma in childhood can lead to a lack of motivation and less pleasure from rewards-or anhedonia-later in…
A closer look at Parkinson’s brains finds tau where standard tests saw little
By examining six brain regions at single-molecule resolution, researchers identified a layer of tau pathology that conventional tissue…
Spontaneous brain state fluctuations influence real-time memory formation
Most everyday moments are quickly forgotten, while others stay with us for a lifetime. How the brain determines…
Frequent TV watching links to higher white matter lesion volume
A 24-year ARIC analysis suggests that the setting in which people sit may matter for brain measures linked…
Study compares different light therapies for treating Alzheimer’s disease
“We wanted to compare the two most common tPBM paradigms head‑to‑head in a well‑established AD mouse model,” explains…
Grant funds research into molecular memories behind exaggerated fear
Experiencing a traumatic event sometimes produces long-lasting biological changes that can lead to an exaggerated fear response to…
Sparse-to-dense coding transformation between hippocampal areas CA3 and CA1
Bats Fifteen adult male Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) were included in this study for neural recording experiments…
Virtual reality navigation deficits predict future brain volume loss
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) often begins long before it is clinically recognized, with subtle brain changes emerging years before…
