New research reveals that Alzheimer's disease may impair nerve function not by reducing myelin, but by altering the proteins ...

Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

Plasticity is key to the trainability of neural networks and has long been a focus in the field of brain-inspired research. Currently, neuromorphic networks primarily achieve plasticity through ...

WM is characterized by two remarkable properties: myelin plasticity, defined as experience-induced changes in myelination mediating long-lasting changes in neural circuit function, and myelin repair, ...

These problems—less energy, loss of myelin, and damaged neurons—start early, but the actual death of the brain cells tends to happen later, as the disease becomes more severe.

As war continues to rage in Gaza and Ukraine, there is concern about how the related trauma might be transmitted to future ...

Researchers have identified structural abnormalities at the myelin-axon interface in Alzheimer's that may hinder electrical signaling.
