Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.
The detailed mapping revealed an unexpected pattern. One specific section of the dendrite contained an unusually dense ...
Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...
VIB and KU Leuven researchers used spatial transcriptomics to map gene activity in motor neuron cell bodies and axons. In ALS ...
Most of the time, you assume your brain is either “on” or “off,” awake or asleep. A new study shows something far more ...
The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...
Explore why tau still lacks treatments despite its critical role in Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies.
Across a typical lifetime, the human brain does not simply grow, peak, and decline. It passes through five sweeping ...
