Now, a major suite of scientific reviews published in the journal Neuron has tried to answer those questions by taking stock of current understanding of brain aging, and how the risk of age ...

Our brains contain billions of neurons and trillions of connections, and scientists are only beginning to understand the ...

Age-related neurodegenerative disorders — motor neuron diseases, demyelinating diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, and other ...

They published their findings March 10 in Nature Aging. Axonal spheroids are bubble-like structures on axons—the part of the neuron that sends messages through electrical impulses—that form ...

Our long-term goal is to identify molecular and cellular mechanisms that contribute to brain aging, including glia-neuron interactions, systemic inflammatory signals and gut-brain interactions. We ...
