The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to ...

Researchers found that nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, via the UPF2 protein, is crucial for neuronal migration and cortical ...

Neurons placed inside engineered living bodies built from frog cells self-organize, become active, and reshape movement ...

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories together to survive when energy is low.

The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows that this biological process nearly stops in people with Alzheimer's ...

Researchers discover that the RNA surveillance system NMD and the protein UPF2 are essential for guiding neuronal migration and forming the brain's layered cortex.

The insidious plaques and tangles associated with the disease can begin forming 20 years before any memory lapse ...

Research has revealed the one personality trait that could actually lead to better brain function and increased longevity.

On Thursday, Feb. 19, Ali May, an assistant professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai presented her research ...
