Brain scans suggest probiotic yogurt may subtly influence brain chemistry and connectivity, alongside changes in the gut microbiome.

Over the past year, scientists have searched brain tissue, arteries and even joints for the presence of microplastics. The tiny particles, they have found, are ubiquitous in the human body - littering ...

This fuzzy coat surrounds a rigid inner core that is made from folded protein strands known as beta sheets. Hong and her ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

MIT chemists used NMR spectroscopy to reveal the disordered “fuzzy coat” surrounding Tau protein fibrils, offering new ...

Glutamate levels increase in early psychosis but normalize over time, challenging established perspectives on schizophrenia progression. The study involved treatment-naive patients, isolating natural ...

New research reveals that certain brain tumors may originate silently within normal brain cells long before a tumor forms.

Abnormal clumps of proteins like α-synuclein, amyloid beta and tau are associated with neurodegenerative conditions like ...

ONCE upon a time, science worked on the assumption that there was such a thing as a "normal" brain that neatly conformed to society. Those who were different might be diagnosed with an illness or ...

Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered ...

When you’re short on sleep and your focus suddenly drifts, your brain may be briefly slipping into cleanup mode. Scientists ...

Abnormal clumps of proteins like α-synuclein, amyloid beta and tau are associated with neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, but a waste removal mechanism called the ...
