Anatomy explorers have charted a new path myeloid cells use to access the brain. On 3 June in Neuron, scientists led by Lindsay Hohsfield and Kim Green, both at the University of California, Irvine, ...

High levels of calcium are toxic to cells and contribute to loss of neurons in Alzheimer's disease. A new study published in ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

Every decision begins invisibly. Long before someone acts, the brain is already hard at work gathering evidence, weighing options, and gradually committing to a choice. But even when faced with the ...

Hypertension begins harming the brain surprisingly early, even before measurable blood pressure increases. Key cells related to blood vessels, signaling, and myelin maintenance begin aging prematurely ...
