Neurons in the brains of mice tell them to stop eating when they’ve had enough food – and since people probably have the same ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

Scientists develop groundbreaking dual-action drug RI-AG03 that targets toxic tau proteins in Alzheimer's disease, showing ...

Columbia scientists have found specialized neurons in the brains of mice that order the animals to stop eating. Though many feeding circuits in the brain are known to play a role in monitoring food ...

A type of aggressive, treatment-resistant brain tumor has a distinct population of immune cells that support its growth, ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

Researchers have identified a group of specialised neurons in the brainstem that regulate when to stop eating. These neurons ...

Researchers discovered how genetic switches shaped human brain evolution by fine-tuning shared gene expression.

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the ...
