By Vijay Kumar Malesu Even at relatively low pollution levels, chronic exposure to fine particles and nitrogen dioxide was ...

Long-term air pollution exposure is linked to higher risk, faster progression, and increased mortality in motor neuron ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New mouse data reveal that ageing neurons struggle to clear synaptic proteins, shifting the burden to ...

Greater long-term air pollution exposure was associated with a higher risk of motor neuron disease. Higher levels of ...

A clearance mechanism involving microglia has been known to relieve neurons of toxic protein aggregates such as those associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, this ...

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...

The scientist Stephen Hawking lived with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common type of motor neurone disease, ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

Fluctuations in brain activity, also known as neural variability, enable us to be flexible in adjusting our behavior to the current situation. A new study shows that neural variability increases ...
