Can we regrow damaged nerves? A new study identifies the AHR protein as the switch that limits axon regeneration.

The findings, published in Nature on July 19, shed light on potential neural mechanisms involved in working memory and decision making. "Our study is a step toward thinking of the brain not in terms ...

Neurons in the bird eye’s inner retina lack a blood supply. Finding how these neurons function without oxygen reveals a role for an enigmatic eye structure. Read the paper: Oxygen-free metabolism in ...

Scientists have found that your brain separates memories into “what” and “where/when” using two different groups of neurons.

A group of nerve cells essential for cognition may be especially vulnerable to DNA damage upon exposure to inflammation in MS.

In Alzheimer’s disease, brain damage is often linked to a mix of problems, including beta-amyloid buildup, tau pathology, ...
