Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment and ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells - one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...

How does brain metabolism affect aging? Researchers received a $3.3M NIH grant to study neurometabolic coupling and Alzheimer ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Groundbreaking research from Karolinska Institutet reveals that humans can grow new neurons well into old age, offering new hope ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a natural mechanism that clears existing amyloid plaques in the brains of mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease and preserves cognitive function ...

Brain damage caused by blocked blood vessels may be treatable using injections of stem cells, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Zurich and the University of Southern ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can continue to develop new brain cells into old age. Researchers at Sweden’s ...
