For decades, Alzheimer’s disease has been seen as a brain disorder caused by toxic protein buildup, but new research suggests ...

Scientists keep learning more about the connection between the brain and the gastrointestinal system. By Christina Caron Dr.

In mouse brains, star-shaped astrocytes form flexible networks that may offer another way for brain regions to communicate.

Japanese researchers found that lecanemab, an amyloid-clearing drug for Alzheimer’s, does not improve the brain’s waste clearance system in the short term. This implies that nerve damage and impaired ...

Webs of star-shaped cells called astrocytes connect distant parts of the brain, allowing long-distance exchange of molecules.

How does the brain take out its trash? That is the job of the brain’s lymphatic drainage system, and efforts to understand how it works have pushed the boundaries of brain-imaging technologies. “We ...

A hidden waste-removal pathway in the brain has finally been caught in action. Using cutting-edge MRI scans, researchers discovered that fluid flows along the middle meningeal artery in a slow, ...

The brain shows a capacity to recover from traumatic injury, which somewhat contradicts the widely accepted idea that neurons do not regenerate. So how is recovery possible? In a new JNeurosci paper, ...

The same fully implanted, wireless device supporting motor recovery after stroke now enables thought-controlled computer use ...
