Neuron Connections

In a landmark achievement, Harvard University and Google have developed the most detailed brain map ever created. This innovative project focused on a cubic millimeter of human cerebral cortex, a sample taken during an epilepsy surgery in 2014. Over a decade, biologists and machine-learning experts meticulously mapped approximately 57,000 cells and...

Bajaj Auto has filed for a trademark for the word 'Neuron' in India. This has led to varied speculation on the internet, as to what the name could stand for and will it be for a new product?

Alpha-synuclein is the subject of much ongoing research on Parkinson's, as it is the main component of Lewy bodies, or toxic protein deposits that take up residence in brain cells,killing them from the inside.

A high-fat diet may not only make us obese, but could also cause cognitive impairment by prompting immune cells in the brain to consume the connections between neurons, says a study.

High-fat diet may not only make us obese, but also cause cognitive impairment by prompting immune cells in the brain to consume the connections between neurons, a new study has warned.

A high-fat diet also appears to prompt normally bustling immune cells in our brain to become sedentary and start consuming the connections between our neurons, a new study has found.

When the brain forms memories or learns a new task, it encodes the new information by tuning connections between neurons. Now, neuroscientists have discovered a novel mechanism that contributes to the strengthening of these connections, called synapses.
