Past studies show that SuperAgers may experience slower brain atrophy, lower brain volume loss, and reduced neuroinflammation. Now a new study published in the journal Nature has found that SuperAgers ...
Human proteins identified that explain inter-individual differences in functional brain connectivity
“A central goal of neuroscience is to develop an understanding of the brain that ultimately describes the mechanistic basis of human cognition and behavior,” said Jeremy Herskowitz, Ph.D., associate ...
McGill University researchers have identified a brain function that helps explain why childhood stress raises metabolic health risks for some women later in life. A new study found that variations in ...
In a new paper with implications for preventing Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders, Keith Hengen, an associate professor of biology in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St.
Recent work has revealed some of the many crucial functions of astrocytes, brain cells that were once thought to play primarily supportive roles for neurons. Astrocytes do handle debris around neurons ...
The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons. These cells fire electrical signals that help the brain store memories and send information and commands throughout the brain and the nervous system.

Key brain differences can explain why Ritalin helps improve focus in some more than others
Nearly 16 million American adults have been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but evidence suggests that more than 30% of them don't respond well to stimulant medications ...
Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.
A new study in expert birders suggests that becoming an expert in a given field could help slow down cognitive decline.
Human proteins identified that explain inter-individual differences in functional brain connectivity
A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. A study now identifies, ...

Overlooked contributions from astrocytes might explain the human brain's huge storage capacity
The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons. These cells fire electrical signals that help the brain store memories and send information and commands throughout the brain and the nervous system.
