Healthy brain function relies on a steady supply of blood. Disruptions in blood flow are linked to major neurological ...
A three-year project to create a detailed 3D ‘atlas’ of the brain of a lab mouse is now finished. The resulting model will help scientists better understand the effects of treatments and ...
Our minds are a little bit mind-boggling. Which is what makes the video above, produced by Nature, so remarkable. It depicts a 3D model of a little piece of a mouse's brain -- specifically, its ...
Then they looked at cells taken from the same area of a mouse brain. "In one sense, they are remarkable similar," Koch says, noting that both mice and people had about 100 different types of cells ...
Researchers have developed a transgenic mouse model with human brain immune cells. The breakthrough will let scientists observe how human brain cells respond to different Alzheimer’s-inducing ...
Lower levels of natural lithium may increase amyloid plaques in brain regions vulnerable to Alzheimer’s — while a novel ...
MSU researchers discovered that microbes begin shaping the brain while still in the womb, influencing neurons in a region ...
In AD, synaptic plasticity, the brain's ability to regulate the strength of synaptic connections between neurons, is significantly disrupted. This worsens over time, reducing cognitive and memory ...
