A recent study examines why Alzheimer's presents and progresses differently in individuals using advanced biological analysis ...

A team led by HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow Shan Meltzer has created a detailed, cell-by-cell map of the spinal cord that offers a new framework for understanding chronic pain and provides a powerful new ...

Genome-wide analysis of brain tissue identified DNA methylation changes linked to tau protein and oligodendrocyte function in ...

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...

Touch—the first sense to develop in the womb—is fundamental to our bodily experience and our everyday lives. Yet, as the least studied of the five senses, it remains somewhat mysterious at the ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, Mayo Clinic researchers have identified specific DNA-level changes in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using advanced biological ...

Loss and dysfunction of synapses have been linked to age-related cognitive decline and observed in Alzheimer's and other ...

Animal communication is more than simple signals. Mammals use sounds, expressions, and touch to convey emotions and social messages. Brain cells called mirror neurons help them understand feelings.

A study published in Molecular Psychiatry reveals a path of cause-effect molecular events that can lead to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, Duncan Neurological ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.
