A research team led by Dr. Àlex Bayés, Head of the Molecular Physiology of the Synapse Group at the Institut de Recerca Sant Pau (IR Sant Pau), has achieved what for decades had been an elusive goal: ...

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

Both presenilin-1 or the less-studied presenilin-2 can act as the catalytic subunit of γ-secretase, the enzyme responsible for churning out Aβ peptides. A new study, published November 29 in Nature ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

As we age, we begin to lose the connections that wire up our brains-and neuroscientists aren't sure why.
