Recent research published in Nature Neuroscience provides a detailed cellular map of how physical activity remodels the brain ...

A new study suggests temporal lobe epilepsy may be linked to early aging of certain brain cells. When researchers removed these aging cells in mice, seizures dropped, memory improved, and some animals ...

Neuroscientist Steve Ramirez has found ways to plant memories in mice. Here's what that could mean for humans.

Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...

Study finds ultrathin tubes connecting brain cells that transport Alzheimer's proteins. The network changes months before ...

Clearing out “aged” brain cells dramatically reduced seizures and restored memory in a new epilepsy study.

Foods like extra-virgin olive oil, berries and eggs have nutrients to benefit brain health. More brain health-promoting ...

Imagine watching a conversation between brain cells, seeing chemical messages pass from one neuron to another. Scientists can ...

Just light exercise—10 or 20 minutes of walking a day—can be enough to take the edge off. The Centers for Disease Control and ...

There is a strong link between regular physical exercise and good brain health, according to one study. Researchers found ...
