Creation of new brain cells plays an underappreciated role in Alzheimer’s disease
Much of the research on the underlying causes of Alzheimer’s disease focuses on amyloid beta (Aß), a protein that accumulates […]
» Read moreKessler Foundation researchers have found a correlation between deficits in facial emotion recognition and poor community integration in individuals with […] The cerebral cortex acts as the control centre of our cognitive processes. During embryogenesis, dozens of types of neurons with […] Neural activity that reflects the intention to drink alcohol is observed in the prefrontal cortex and is blunted in rats […] Researchers have made new discoveries about how certain brainwaves aid navigation. They hope that the methods may benefit patients suffering […] A recent study by University of Manitoba researchers could lead to groundbreaking new treatments and improved diagnosis of diseases like […] In the 1860s, French physician Paul Broca published his findings that the brain’s speech production center was located in the […] To understand our brains, scientists need to know their components. This theme underlies a growing effort in neuroscience to define […] A study by UCLA psychologists provides strong evidence that a certain region of the brain plays a critical role in […] Existing electrophysiological and fluorescence-based brain imaging techniques in mice are generally invasive, require head fixes or cables, and are not […]
