From a cubic millimeter of tissue, scientists constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse's brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

The devices could help scientists probe subcellular regions of the brain and possibly treat disease.

The proof of concept aims to replace metal electrode brain-computer interfaces

Higher amyloid, tau levels linked to greater REM sleep latency

Biomacromolecules are delivered across the blood–brain barrier when administered systemically.

Experimental genetic therapies may soon move forward from preclinical phases.

Cardiac myosin inhibitor linked to improvements in biomarkers in small study

Cells are highly controlled spaces that rely on every protein being in the right place. Many diseases, including cancers and neurodegenerative disorders, are associated with misplaced proteins. In some cancers, for instance, a protein that normally stands watch over DNA replicating in the nucleus is sent far from the DNA it is meant to monitor, allowing cancers to grow.

Nura Bio, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing neuroprotective therapies for neurological diseases, has closed its Series A financing with an

A new generation of blood tests can help diagnose Alzheimer's disease. But many doctors don't yet know how to use them.

It's well known that TBI is a risk factor for later Alzheimer's disease. But what about blast exposure without contact injury? New research suggested it also increases the risk.

Scientists have imaged a tiny fragment of brain in unprecedented detail, showing detailed connections between individual neurons. The method could help researchers better understand brain circuits.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a technique for connecting lab-grown brain-mimicking tissue in a way that resembles circuits in our brain.

CIDP is often misdiagnosed

Research suggested that EBV is the primary cause of MS. What are the clinical implications, and could this transform treatment and prevention of this neurodegenerative condition?

A new study finds ALS and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) have remarkable overlaps at the cellular and molecular levels, revealing potential targets that could yield therapies applicable to both disorders.

CSF and imaging markers changed in a temporal sequence

A recent experiment suggests the brain is not too warm or wet for consciousness to exist as a quantum wave that connects with the rest of the universe.

Medical experts, lawyers and advocates say police officers accused of excessive use of force use the disputed diagnosis to evade accountability

Pathogenic viruses that enter the human body can dock onto cells with their tentacle-like extensions, whereupon the cell takes up the viruses. This process, which is already known and occurs in diseases such as HIV, can also be used for therapeutic approaches.
