A wave of recent neuroscience research has identified specific molecular and cellular mechanisms through which alcohol disrupts signaling between brain cells, offering a sharper picture of how ...

When myelin breaks down, white matter in the brain deteriorates, a change commonly seen with aging. At the same time, microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, can shift from protective responders ...

The field of molecular neuroscience has increasingly recognized that, while the nervous system is characterized by impressive resilience and plasticity, it ...

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A neuroimaging study from NYU shows that the same type of brain training found to reduce dementia risk in the recent ACTIVE Study can also repair white ...

Researchers led by Min Zhang and Dabao Zhang of the University of California, Irvine's Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health have created the most detailed maps to date showing how genes ...

Brain tumors do not just invade healthy tissue. They also physically squeeze it, and that mechanical compression may be enough to trigger neuron death in the surrounding brain. Two peer-reviewed ...

Neuroscientists discover that Rett syndrome mutations cause a leaky brain via overexpressed miRNA-126-3p, pointing to a new therapeutic target for vascular repair.

Scientists have known for some time that Alzheimer’s disease affects brain regions differently. And they have a detailed understanding of how misfolded tau forms toxic tangles in the brain, impairing ...
