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

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

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

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 ...

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

Our guts are home to trillions of bacteria, and research over the last few decades has established how essential they are to our physiology—in health and disease. A new study from EMBL Heidelberg ...

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.

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 ...

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

Discover how your mind filters out distractions. New research reveals the specialized neural mechanisms that actively block ...

UCSF researchers found that brain cells age more quickly when they rely solely on the X chromosome inherited from a female's ...
