Damage to white matter in the brain can trigger features associated with neurodegenerative disease, Cambridge researchers have discovered in a new study published in the journal Nature. Until now, it ...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections are very common–the vast majority of adults are thought to have been infected at some point. But there has also been mounting evidence that EBV is connected to the ...

Scientists at Scripps Research have uncovered a molecular “switch” that appears to fuel the damaging brain inflammation seen in Alzheimer’s disease. They found that a protein called STING becomes ...

The brain has its own immune system, which detects threats and mounts a defense. A growing body of evidence has shown that in Alzheimer's disease, those immune cells are chronically overactivated, ...

Your reaction time is more than just a measure of how quickly you respond to a stimulus. It can also reflect how efficiently your brain processes information. Researchers and clinicians often look at ...

A drug combo widely explored for anti-aging may actually damage the brain, according to new mouse research showing severe ...

My brain injury in 2000 affected my balance and gait. Doctors assessed it by asking me to walk across a small room and back again. Aside from that observational method, which would not have apprised ...

Connections between nerve cells in the brain (synapses, labeled green) usually deteriorate in the brains of Alzheimer's mouse models (left). Stopping the formation of a molecule known as SNO-STING ...
