A common sugar substitute, erythritol, widely used in “sugar-free” and low-carb products, may increase stroke risk by ...

Erythritol, a low-calorie sugar substitute, may be associated with increased heart attack and stroke risk, according to a new ...

Characterization of intracellular synapse heterogeneity aides to understand the intricate computational logic of neuronal circuits. Despite recent advances in connectomics, the spatial patterns of ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have upended the decades-old dogma of how connections between brain cells are rearranged during states of heightened vigilance ...

Scientists say they've put together a molecular toolkit that could be used to treat a variety of brain diseases, possibly including epilepsy, ...

To explore how genes in different types of human brain cells have evolved compared with those of chimpanzees, the researchers used single-cell human and nonhuman primate (chimpanzee and rhesus ...

Medically reviewed by Kierra Brown, RD Choline is a nutrient that supports important functions in the body, like facilitating a healthy metabolism and building cell membranes. It also helps produce ...

Neuroscientists can now make precise genetic tweaks to the neurons that are most affected by brain diseases such as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and ALS ...

Overlooked cell type orchestrates brain rewiring Rather than neurons, brain cells known as astrocytes take charge in shaping response to signal involved in vigilance Date: May 16, 2025 Source ...

How do animals and humans come up with novel ideas? It may be down to some very specific cells.

Researchers at WashU Medicine have shown in mice that brain cells known as astrocytes are required for a signaling chemical called norepinephrine to modify brain activity, changing the textbook ...
