Rhythmic brain activity helps maintain temporary memories
US researchers have discovered that rhythmic brain activity organises the neuronal pathways that maintain short-term memories.

Brain cells found to transfer material to neurons in mice
Researchers have discovered that oligodendrocyte-lineage cells transfer cell material to neurons in a mouse brain. They have provided the first evidence of coordinated nuclear interaction between these cells and neurons.

Scientists discover therapeutic target that could treat glaucoma
The researchers found restoring mitochondrial homeostasis in the diseased neurons could protect the optic nerve cells from being damaged from glaucoma.
news
Transplanted brain organoids show response to visual stimuli in adult rats
Researchers say that by looking at individual neurons, they were able to gain a deeper understanding of the integration of transplanted brain organoids.

Hypothalamus versus hippocampus: changes in the synaptic plasticity
Japanese scientists analyse the associative synaptic plasticity in the supramammillary nucleus–dentate gyrus pathways.
news
Combination of MRI and MSI uncover molecular secrets of Alzheimer’s
US researchers will use a unique combination of imaging techniques (MRI and MSI) to study Alzheimer’s disease on a scale that has never been done before.

How ageing triggers Huntington’s disease
A new study found that as patients age, Huntington’s disease gradually impairs the important cellular housekeeping process autophagy, which is responsible for eliminating waste from cells.
