Alzheimer's is a devastating disease that results in memory loss and cognitive decline. It's caused by brain cells dying and the brain itself shrinking from a buildup of proteins. Millions of seniors ...

By targeting a malfunction in the mitochondria, these cellular power plants, the researchers achieved remarkable results: restoring many neuron-to-neuron connections in nerve cell models derived from ...

By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse brain with unprecedented speed and resolution. The approach could expand ...

Expansion microscopy enabled researchers to count the number of connections between neurons (green points on purple neuron). Neurons exposed to amyloid-beta formed more connections (SSBs = single ...
