Researchers at Oregon Health and Science University have identified ferroptosis, an iron-driven form of cell death, in microglia within the white matter of aging human brains, directly linking this ...

Researchers have identified a new biological pathway involved in Alzheimer's disease. In experiments using fruit flies, blocking the pathway reduced the death of brain cells, suggesting that ...

As the body ages, cells naturally accumulate dozens of genetic mutations each year. New research from Boston Children's Hospital, published in Cell, finds that the brain's resident immune cells, ...

A new study in mice indicates that long-term treadmill exercise might fully reverse memory problems and reduce brain damage ...

The longevity conversation has gotten very good at telling us what to track. Muscle mass. Metabolic health. Inflammation markers. Sleep quality. What it hasn’t caught up to yet is the brain, ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate communication network is built of billions of neurons connected by synapses ...

A rare look inside the human hippocampus reveals changes in new neuron growth, memory circuits, stress responses, and ...
