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 ...
Age-related changes in protein tagging and degradation may help explain how the brain declines over time and why diet can still influence these processes.
Tau proteins act like the brain's maintenance crew, helping maintain the structure and proper function of brain cells. In ...
Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows ...
Canadian researchers show that stress modifies the morphology of brain cells in mice, directly influencing the rodents' level of physical activity. Astrocytes in the lateral hypothalamus region of the ...
What began with a sliver of brain tissue no larger than a grain of sand has culminated in a scientific achievement once deemed impossible. A global team of researchers has unveiled the most intricate ...
The brain’s cerebellum plays a key role in coordinating movement, balance, and cognition. Injury to the cerebellum can have a profound impact on basic motor skills, such as sitting, standing, and ...
Meanwhile, there are also foods that may worsen brain fog. These include highly processed foods, foods with excess added ...
Brain volume and function are altered in individuals with opioid use disorder, a new Yale study finds. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), researchers observed the ...
