Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

For over 100 years, scientists have agreed that discrete collections of brain cells fire off signals to other brain areas through a series of interconnected fibers. In a new study, researchers applied ...

From the complexity of neural networks to basic biological functions and structures, the human brain only reluctantly reveals its secrets. Advances in neuro-imaging and molecular biology have only ...

When myelin breaks down, white matter in the brain deteriorates, a change commonly seen with aging. At the same time, microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, can shift from protective responders ...

Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group provides measurable evidence that it can reshape how brain networks function.

The default mode network (DMN) is a set of interconnected brain regions known to be most active when humans are awake but not engaged in physical activities, such as relaxing, resting or daydreaming.

When we think about drinking enough water, most of us focus on physical health benefits glowing skin, proper digestion, healthy kidneys, or better exercise performance. But what many overlook is that ...

In a recent review published in the journal Cell Metabolism, a group of authors explored how Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonism shapes the neurovascular unit (NVU), potentially linking ...
