A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age-related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and ...

BrainAlignNet, AutoCellLabeler, and CellDiscoveryNet—to automatically track and identify neurons in moving worms and jellyfish.

Through a combination of human NSC analysis in the lab and mouse model experiments, the researchers singled out a protein ...

By examining mice across the lifespan, researchers showed that age lowers firing rates in cerebellar Purkinje cells, leading to poorer motor coordination. Reversing this decline improved performance, ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on aging research on January 8, 2025. The collection of reviews and perspectives reflects the progress made in ...

In Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, a protein called tau can pile up inside brain cells and form toxic clumps. Those clumps help drive memory loss and other symptoms.

Pyramidal neurons are a very common type of neuron in the brain. Their cell bodies have a unique pyramidal shape that is the source of their name. They make up about two-thirds of all neurons in the ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from repeated exercise—such as the ability ...
