Synaptic transmission is an energy hog. It requires neurons to tap ATP reserves to respond to incoming signals. How do they pull this off, thousands to millions of times per day? A new study ...

New Review Integrates Human, Animal, and Cellular Evidence to Reframe AD as a Triad-Centered Disorder Alzheimer’s disease (AD ...

Patch-clamp recordings demonstrated that LHON neurons, which typically exhibit impaired sodium and potassium currents, showed restored electrophysiological function after co-culture with MSCs.

In order to uncover the relationship between structure and function, researchers used microfluidic devices to study neuronal networks. Uncovering the relationship between structure (connectivity) and ...

Mitochondrial fusion grants new neurons a competitive advantage Adult neurogenesis takes place in the hippocampus, a brain region controlling aspects of cognition and emotional behavior. Consistently, ...

A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point ...

The APOE4 allele heightens the risk of Alzheimer’s disease in several ways. Here’s a new one: It may deprive neurons of a crucial fuel. In the October 16 Nature Metabolism, scientists led by Thomas ...

For centuries humans have been keen on reversing age. Especially the cognitive decline that is linked to aging. Aging is ...

Stanford University-led researchers report that tumor cells hijack mitochondria from immune cells, reducing anti-tumor immune ...
