Scientists at UCSF combined advanced brain-network modeling, genetics, and imaging to reveal how tau protein travels through ...

A new study reveals that neurons in the brain’s memory center, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. A ...

Scientists have found evidence of new brain cells sprouting in adults - a process that many thought only occurred in children ...

Using a neural network model, neuroscientists have found that, as the brain moves between REM and slow-wave sleep cycles, the hippocampus teaches the neocortex what it learned. This process seems ...

It's been recognized for some time that Alzheimer's disease affects brain regions differently and that tau—a protein known to ...

After years of debate, scientists provided new evidence for the lifelong birth of human brain cells, which may inform future ...

A new study published in the journal Food Science & Nutrition suggests that creatine supplementation may help protect the ...

The hippocampus is a small organ located within the brain's medial temporal lobe and forms an important part of the limbic system, the region that regulates emotions. The hippocampus is associated ...

A new high resolution model of the CA1 region of the human hippocampus has been developed by the Institute of Biophysics of the Italian National Research Council (CNR-IBF) and University of Modena e ...

Researchers of the Human Brain Project have developed a full-scale 3D structural model of the human hippocampus. Credit: Michele Migliore ...

Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have succeeded in showing, in an animal model, that the process of insulin resistance in the brain affects both Alzheimer's disease and ...
