Alzheimer’s may advance by breaking the brain’s internal clock—and resetting it could help fight the disease. Alzheimer’s disease often interferes with a person’s normal daily patterns. Early warning ...

Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in ...

The study, published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology, looked at rats and tested whether inducing inflammation in the ...

Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

A Cedars-Sinai study has identified a previously unknown role for astrocyte cells in how the brain responds to damage and ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. By experimentally testing nearly 1,000 DNA switches in human ...

CCN1 is a key factor for stabilizing brain circuits in adulthood, offering a therapeutic target for conditions, such as Alzheimer's and PTSD.

Young minds are easily molded. Each new experience rewires a child's brain circuitry, adding and removing synaptic connections between neurons. These wiring patterns become more stable with age, but ...

Sleep constitutes an essential physiological process that is vital for maintaining physical and mental wellbeing. However, the science of sleep focusing on basic questions such as “how” we sleep and ...
