A surface protein called CD51 marks a specialised subgroup of brain cells in mice that builds connections, adjusts circuits, and aids recovery after a stroke.
Scientists combined data from thousands of stroke patients and 100 healthy adults to map potential scalp targets for gentle brain pulses across eight conditions.
A review of non-invasive brain-computer interfaces shows they may help manage chronic pain by training or altering neural signals. These tools are meant to work alongside existing therapies rather than replace them outright.
In pregnant mice with high blood sugar, embryos experience disrupted brain architecture because a key gene switch fails to keep cellular signals in check.
In a 10-day trial of 101 patients with mild cognitive impairment, stimulating two linked brain areas with magnetic pulses improved memory, language, and overall thinking better than targeting just one.
Migratory bats can pick their seasonal flight path in total darkness several minutes after their last exposure to light, showing their magnetic compass does not need photons to work.
A substance made by gut bacteria digesting soy can slip past the brain's defences to curb damage caused by cadmium poisoning in mice.
A study in mice reveals that early contact with too much manganese triggers brain immune cells to destroy vital learning links, causing long-lasting memory problems in males.
A study in mice shows that an extract of heated ginger can reverse severe brain damage caused by a mix of heavy metals and high-fat food. The supplement restored lost brain cells, vital communication chemicals, and key memory proteins.
