Scientists link a rising brain protein to memory decline and show it can be reversed in mice, offering a new target for ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers from Japan have ...

Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have shown that blocking the protein PTP1B in mice reactivates brain immune cells, clears amyloid plaques, and improves memory. This approach targets a ...

Ordinary human cells, not just neurons, respond more strongly to memory signals when they arrive in spaced bursts rather than ...

Researchers found a powerful protein that helps strengthen the messaging system of the brain. The discovery could lead to new ways of treating diseases that interfere with the way brain cells talk to ...

Increasing the level of a certain DNA-modified enzyme in the brain significantly improves cognitive ability. The discovery was made by the research team led by Prof. Dr. Hilmar Bading at the ...

Neuroscientists at the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery of the Catholic University, Rome, and the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS have genetically modified a molecule, the ...

It is often thought that the effects of exercise are short-lived, and a break from the gym for just a few weeks can cause stress over muscle loss for some people. However, the research from the ...

Computational models show that even subtle modifications in the synaptic protein CaMKII completely alter the resulting protein structures. Given how the formation and stability of these structures ...
