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 ...

A new study published in Molecular Psychiatry has uncovered a possible chain of cause-and-effect events that may lead to Alzheimer’s disease, offering fresh clues about how the condition develops and ...

Yale researchers at the School of Medicine developed a new imaging technique that measures synaptic activity in patients with Alzheimer’s disease to hopefully link the loss of activity with cognitive ...

Synaptic transmission is an energy hog. It requires neurons to tap ATP reserves to respond to incoming signals. How do they pull this off, thousands to millions of times per day? A new study ...

Bioengineers and neuroscientists at the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford University have developed a highly sensitive tool for detecting brain cells' subtlest electrical signals. Published ...

When elderly people stay active, their brains have more of a class of proteins that enhances the connections between neurons to maintain healthy cognition, a UC San Francisco study has found. This ...
