The brain is constantly mapping the external world like a GPS, even when we don't know about it. This activity comes in the form of tiny electrical signals sent between neurons—specialized cells ...

Moreover, scallop-derived lipids reduced the accumulation of lipofuscin, which is an aging marker in nematodes, and increased the levels of neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin).

They show that neuronal networks in the cerebral cortex reorganize within a short period of time, with other nerve cells taking over the tasks of the lost neurons.

Lab-grown neurons in a dish respond to drugs, learning in real time, advancing synthetic biological intelligence and neurological research.

In multiple sclerosis (MS), diffuse degenerative processes in the deep grey matter have been associated with clinical disabilities. We performed a systematic study in MS deep grey matter with a focus ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and UCL have shown that genetic messages are misplaced in nerve cells in a model of Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia. These messages ...

Scientists have discovered that neurons exposed to Botox (botulinum toxin A) don't just survive—they fight back.

Neurochemistry articles from across Nature Portfolio Neurochemistry is the study of the identities, structures and functions of compounds (neurochemicals) that are generated by and that modulate ...
