Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal ...

New research shows that physical pressure from brain tumors or injuries triggers a "self-destruction" program in neurons, leading to irreversible brain damage.

How far you can run might be down to brain not brawn, study finds - Brain cells found to help body recover faster after exercise ...

The work reveals that the brain — in mice and, presumably, in humans — is actively involved in the development of endurance, the ability to get better at a physical activity with repeated practice, ...

A new MIT study that focuses on a single cell in one of nature's simplest nervous systems provides an in-depth illustration of how individual neurons can use multiple means to drive complex behaviors.

In Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, a protein called tau can pile up inside brain cells and form toxic clumps. Those ...

Through a combination of human NSC analysis in the lab and mouse model experiments, the researchers singled out a protein ...

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them - signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces - in a process known as endocytosis that is ...

Researchers have used advanced imaging techniques to find out how nerve fibers and myCAFs work together to make pancreatic ...

Researchers from the DZNE have solved an important puzzle in neurobiology: the wiring and the movement of nerve cells are interwoven, but separately controlled. The study focuses on neuronal growth ...
