Alzheimer’s disease damages myelin, but exactly what it does to this insulating material remains somewhat mysterious. In the June 13 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by Jaime Grutzendler at Yale ...

Abstract: 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 ...

A new study published in Nature Metabolism suggests that intense endurance exercise, such as running a marathon, may cause a temporary reduction in myelin content in the brain. Using advanced magnetic ...

Marathon runners experience reversible changes in their brain myelin. These findings indicate that myelin (a substance that surrounds the neurons) exhibits behavior that was previously unknown, and ...

Not revised: This Reviewed Preprint includes the authors’ original preprint (without revision), an eLife assessment, public reviews, and a provisional response from the authors. The manuscript by ...

A new study from the journal Nature Metabolism and researchers at CIC biomaGUNE, a biotech research institute in Spain, suggested the brain may temporarily break down its own insulation for fuel ...

Why do some people emerge from life’s hardships stronger and wiser while others struggle to recover? This question lies at the heart of resilience—our capacity to adapt, recover, and even grow in ...
