Recently, the team led by Chief Physician Quan Zhang and Associate Professor Feng Liu at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital systematically evaluated the genetic associations between type 2 ...

A new study reveals that neurons in the brain’s memory center, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. A recent study published in Science offers strong new evidence that the human ...

In recent years, some scientists and advocates have warned that playing contact sports like football and hockey may increase ...

Scientists at UCSF combined advanced brain-network modeling, genetics, and imaging to reveal how tau protein travels through ...

New research shows how the brain replays and organizes memories, even compressing long experiences into short, fixed-length ...

Findings suggest that Alzheimer’s risk genes drive tau buildup and spread through both network-based and independent mechanisms.

It’s been recognized for some time that Alzheimer’s disease affects brain regions differently and that tau — a protein known to misbehave — plays an important role in the disease. Brain areas like the ...

In a new study, neuroscientists at the University of California, Berkeley, recorded activity from hundreds of neurons simultaneously in freely flying bats. The data provided surprising new insights ...

A new study finds rare neural stem cells in the adult human hippocampus, suggesting some brains can generate new neurons into ...

An interaction between two proteins points to a molecular basis for memory. But how do memories last when the molecules that ...

"We have now been able to identify these cells of origin, which confirms that there is an ongoing formation of neurons in the hippocampus of the adult brain," says Jonas Frisen, Professor of Stem Cell ...

A groundbreaking study shows that the human hippocampus continues producing new neurons well into late adulthood.
