The federal government is looking for researchers who can, in 5 years, develop stem cell treatments to repair brain damage caused by stroke, neurodegeneration, and trauma. The Functional Repair of ...

Every year, millions of lives are suddenly, swiftly transformed by a stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel travelling towards the brain becomes obstructed, causing neurons to die off. Strokes are ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in whom the ability wanes, finds a study published today in Nature. The ...

Scientists revealed how the protein can be used to rejuvenates neural stem cells.

A Japanese research team has demonstrated in rat experiments that stem cells from human primary tooth pulp may help treat ...

The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, on Thursday unveiled the Functional Repair of Neocortical Tissue (FRONT) ...

While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

Our brain is an energy-efficient marvel, with 86 billion neurons and trillions of connections running on just 20 watts—the energy of a single lightbulb. Swiss innovators at Final Spark are ...
