In a new study, scientists pinpointed the specific cells that are most impacted by the aging process, which could lead to new ...
Living tissue from the memory centers of people’s brains reveals sparse nerve cell connections that provide strong, reliable signaling between cells.
Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...
A study of gene expression in the human brain shows that cell types become increasingly specialized, rather than simply more numerous. The human brain stands out as the organ that most distinctly ...
The brain plays a big part in the aging process, and scientists think they’ve pinpointed the specific cells that control it. In a study of mice, researchers at the Allen Institute identified ...
New treatments to slow the aging of the brain may be possible following a major breakthrough ... to be the equivalent of a late middle-aged human. Researchers say mouse brains share many ...
Based on new brain mapping research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), scientists have discovered that not ...
While humans and chimpanzees share many genes, alterations in gene activity may account for distinctive features of the human ...
