If the award-winning 1967 movie The Graduate were remade today, the film’s memorable word would need to switch from "plastics" to "plasticity," to mark the present as well as the future.

By Vijay Kumar Malesu Scientists are detecting nanoplastics in human brain tissue and exploring how these particles may influence the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, but major questions about ...

Tufts University School of Medicine researchers developed imaging technology that records neuronal activity throughout the brain during the first weeks of recovery. They discovered that a head injury ...

Scientists have long theorized about a network of pathways in the brain that are believed to clear metabolic proteins that would otherwise build up and potentially lead to Alzheimer's and other forms ...

Relying on fruit flies, several scientists are achieving new insights into how neurons in the brain are connected and send signals to control movements. A closer understanding of these neurological ...

A new study definitively reveals the existence of a system that had been theorized to clear metabolic wastes in the human brain. The study uses imaging in neurosurgery patients to show how brain's ...

A team of researchers at RPI, in collaboration with the University of South Florida, University of North Carolina, and The Neural Stem Cell Institute, have made a discovery that opens the door to new ...

Neurodegenerative disorders progress in a variety of ways, but one characteristic many of them share is the breakdown of axons, a cable-like fiber that extends from a neuron and transmits electrical ...

A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models, ...
