Scientists have uncovered how a newly discovered gene, NEK1, in which mutations have been linked to ALS cases, disrupts the function of the motor neuron and causes it to degenerate and die.

These aggregates eventually lead to cell death. However, knowledge of how the abnormal aggregates affect hippocampal neuron structure and function in Parkinson's and DLB before cell death is lacking.

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

However, an artificial neuron and synapse based on complex complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits limit the scalability and energy efficiency of neuromorphic hardware. In this work, a ...

Chronic exposure to cocaine reduces the expression of a protein known to regulate brain plasticity, according to new, in vivo research on the molecular basis of cocaine addiction. That reduction ...

Kritz-Silverstein and Bettencourt point out in their paper that eggs are rich in proteins, amino acids, and cholesterol, and these factors could possibly work to preserve neuron structure and ...
