A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can restore the ability of neural stem cells to regenerate, even when age-related ...

Now, new research by Penn State scientists has revealed this vital process may be governed by a previously unknown molecular ...

Our brains age along with the rest of our bodies, and as they do, they produce fewer new brain cells. Now, researchers have ...

A brief afternoon nap may reset key brain processes, helping the mind stay flexible, focused, and ready to learn.

Two new lines of brain research are testing whether aging cells can be nudged into working more like young ones. In one study, scientists boosted a protein called cyclin D-binding myb-like ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the ...

Researchers led by Min Zhang and Dabao Zhang of the University of California, Irvine's Joe C. Wen School of Population & ...

AI-powered gene maps reveal the hidden control centers driving Alzheimer’s disease — and point to new hope for treatment.

Despite decades of research, the mechanisms behind fast flashes of insight that change how a person perceives their world, termed "one-shot learning," have remained unknown. A mysterious type of ...

A single clear image can rewire the visual brain, making later recognition faster without relying on memory systems.

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can continue to develop new brain cells into old age. Researchers at Sweden’s ...
