What makes this neural cluster unusual is its binary activity pattern: it is consistently active in females but largely ...

Researchers have found that a natural aging-related molecule can repair key memory processes affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

While probing the escape reflex in the fruit fly Drosophila, researchers at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz (JGU) and the ...

Alzheimer’s may be driven far more by genetics than previously thought, with one gene playing an outsized role. Researchers ...

Together with colleagues from Stanford University, USA, researchers at the Leibniz Institute on Aging - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) have, for the first time, created a comprehensive cell ...

After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, forms an abnormal connection with an enzyme called ClpP. This enzyme normally ...

A look at Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), focusing on motor neuron degeneration, sporadic versus familial ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

To navigate, the brain must convert changing sensations into a map-like sense of the world, which remains stable as the body moves. A new study finds that the fly brain sometimes performs the ...

Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right side can, after a turn, become a headwind. To stay on course, the fly's ...
