The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, ...
The Johns Hopkins-created maps provide higher resolution and better coverage of gray matter than previously published maps, ...
While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...
A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can ...
A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own ...
Researchers at UCLA Health and UC San Francisco have identified a specific molecular mechanism that explains why certain ...
Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue ...
Researchers have identified a specific protein complex inside neurons that tags toxic tau fragments for destruction, offering the clearest explanation yet for why certain brain cells survive while ...
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 ...
