A new study suggests that stem cells thought to be dormant may offer clues to why our sense of smell declines or is lost.

A new study from Pitt researchers challenges a decades-old assumption in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses distinct ...

Scientists discovered a new way to protect memory in Alzheimer's by targeting the blood-brain barrier instead of amyloid ...

This study presents a valuable finding on how the locus coeruleus modulates the involvement of medial prefrontal cortex in set shifting using calcium imaging. The evidence supporting the claims was ...

The new delivery systems carry genetic material into the brain and spinal cord for targeted use by specific cell types. This platform has the potential to transform how scientists can study neural ...

Nitrous oxide, a commonly used analgesic gas, temporarily improved the opening of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to allow gene therapy delivery in mouse models using focused ultrasound (FUS), UT ...

In a new study, researchers identified a molecule produced by a particular type of brain cell that reversed the ... they found that hevin was also decreased in mouse models of Alzheimer’s ...

To do so, Papouin and his team stimulated norepinephrine secretion from mouse brain cells or exposed mouse brain slices to norepinephrine and found that norepinephrine weakened connections between ...

New research reveals an important role in brain function involving an abundant, but often-ignored, star-shaped type of glial cell known as astrocytes. Scientists say the discovery suggests new ...

This approach to administering an autologous B7-H3 CAR T-cell therapy has been successfully implemented and resulted in the promising overall survival benefit in patients with brain tumors observed in ...

In both Drosophila and mammals, the brain contains the most diverse population of cell types of any tissue. It is generally accepted that transcriptional diversity is an early step in generating ...
