Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on aging research on January 8, 2025. The collection of reviews and perspectives reflects the progress made in ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Research by a Stanford University team of scientists has shed new light on how and why neural stem cells (NSCs), the cells behind the generation of new neurons in the adult brain, become less active ...

As people grow older, the same brain chemistry that once supported sharp thinking and stable mood can quietly start to work ...

Long before memory problems appear, your brain may already be losing neurons. That is the unsettling message from new work by ...

As people age, their risk of developing neurodegenerative disorders like dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease increases. A new study from scientists at the University of California, ...

Dopamine neurons in a part of the brain called the midbrain may, with aging, be increasingly susceptible to a vicious spiral of decline driven by fuel shortages, according to a study led by Weill ...

Every organ in the body is made up of a range of cell types that must coordinate their size and shape throughout the lifetime of the animal to maintain correct organ architecture and function. A focus ...
