The study provides fresh evidence that the decline in the capacity of brain cells to change, called "plasticity," rather than a decline in total cell numbers may underlie some of the sensory and cognitive declines associated with normal brain ageing.
A new study conducted at the Tufts University provides a new insight into ways to regulate a specialized 'compartment' of cells in the brain that controls their signaling.
We should understand that there is a gap between experience and memory, our experiences are fleeting, but it takes hours to form a long-term memory.
Cocaine relapse can now be significantly reduced with the help of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).
Some of them can make you suffer from Alzheimer's disease too, so beware.
Ultrasound waves, applied to the whole brain, improve cognitive dysfunction in mice with conditions simulating vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Prenatal or early exposure of your kids to a plastic chemical may harm brain development as well as reduce cognitive function.
Early diagnosis of schizophrenia and many mental disorders is an ongoing challenge. Coming up with a personalized treatment strategy at the first visit with a patient is also a challenge for clinicians, the researchers said.
Noradrenaline, a neurotransmitter is responsible for arousal in the brain since it plays a vital role for humans to sense the world around them.
The researchers found that the sensor can measure the amount of critical metabolites -- such as lactate or glucose -- that are present in sweat, tears, saliva or blood.
Don't ignore these brain tumour symptoms.

Smoking, air pollution, pesticides and other things that are damaging your brain cells.
A team of researchers has developed the first scalable method to identify different sub-types of neurons in the human brain.
Your brain has the ability to anticipate new situations it might encounter in a lifetime by creating a different neural network, find researchers.
Opening doors to development of new drugs to control weight gain and obesity, researchers have identified brain cells that play a crucial role in appetite control.
