After nearly 15 years' research, scientists at the UdeM-affiliated CHU Sainte-Justine have developed a compound that has ...

The value of a recent biochemical discovery can be seen in the case of an 8-year-old boy. In August 2023 he was able to play typical sports, but by November he needed a wheelchair because of a rare ...

This important study presents a new method for longitudinally tracking cells in two-photon imaging data that addresses the specific challenges of imaging neurons in the developing cortex. It provides ...

Research shows that neurogenesis, collateral sprouting, synaptogenesis, exercise, and an enriched complex housing environment ...

However, neuroscientists have advanced technologies that make this possible in mice. Modern neuroscience equips us with a powerful arsenal of tools to probe how disease changes brain activity in mice.

But when it's impaired enough due to old age, the brain's resident immune cells, called microglia, have to jump into action instead, which can tax and overwhelm the brain.

Boosting brain's waste removal system improves memory in old mice Research opens door to developing therapies for neurodegenerative diseases Date: March 21, 2025 Source: WashU Medicine Summary ...

“In mice, chronic social stress induces BBB disruption promoting depression-like behaviors, highlighting a link between neurovascular health and stress vulnerability,” they stated.

By tracking microplastics in the brains of mice, the team found they damaged the brain’s immune cells. These protective cells accumulated microplastics, instead of digesting them, and then the damaged ...

In a Study on Mice, Scientists Show How the Brain Washes Itself During Sleep The brain’s waste-removal process is “like turning on the dishwasher,” a neurologist says, but common sleep ...

Scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in South Korea have developed a new way to control the minds of mice by manipulating nanoparticle-activated "switches" inside their brains with ...
