How does mild hypoxia affect preterm babies? New research identifies a molecular mechanism that disrupts hippocampal communication without direct brain injury.

During intensive care after preterm births, babies can experience low oxygen in their tissue and cells—or hypoxia. Hypoxia is ...

A new study is illuminating how “forever chemicals” can alter our brain cells by impairing the genes that maintain healthy neurons, the cells of our nervous system. Scientists are only beginning to ...

Routine early measurement of neurofilament light chain could help improve prediction of cognitive impairment after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, according to a study presented today at ESC Acute ...

Researchers create the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the fruit fly brain, revealing how lineage and birth order ...

A clearance mechanism involving microglia has been known to relieve neurons of toxic protein aggregates such as those associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, this ...

A team in Germany has shown that mouse brain tissue can regain measurable signs of activity after being preserved in a ...

Fluctuations in brain activity, also known as neural variability, enable us to be flexible in adjusting our behavior to the current situation. A new study shows that neural variability increases ...
