Study reveals key cell structures and gene expression changes near amyloid plaques and tau tangles in mouse brain tissue

A new study identifies cells that are the most vulnerable within a brain structure involved in mood and movement

Using these engineered proteins, researchers can record histories that reveal when certain genes are activated or how cells respond to a drug.

‘Single-cell profiling’ is helping neuroscientists see how disease affects major brain cell types and identify common, potentially targetable pathways

Comparing models of working memory with real-world data, MIT researchers found that information resides not in persistent neural activity, but in the pattern of their connections

MIT researchers report early stage clinical study results of tests with non-invasive 40Hz light and sound treatment

At a press conference at Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting, young Picower scientist Takato Honda presented findings of key neurons involved in the neuropsychiatric disorder and sleep homeostasis

In people carrying the APOE4 risk variant, a key brain cell type mismanages cholesterol needed to insulate neurons properly—another sign that APOE4 contributes to disease by disrupting lipids in the brain

At Neuroscience 2022, Emery N. Brown relayed how statistical analysis of brain rhythms in patients and animals under anesthetics has revealed important information about how the drugs work.

Scientists hypothesize that, as in a hibernating turtle, the brain under sedation and deprived of oxygen may assume a protective state

Academy recognizes Mark Bear’s influential fundamental research on how experience shapes the brain and its relevance to neurodevelopmental diseases.

Gloria Choi’s studies of how the immune system and nervous system influence each other could yield new approaches to treating neurological disorders.
