A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

For a long time, neuroscientists treated this forgetting as a cognitive glitch or a simple lack of brainware maturity. But a ...

Imagine your brain as a high-end restaurant. Normally, the kitchen is remarkably efficient: fresh ingredients (proteins) ...

Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile ...

A microglia replacement approach demonstrates that brain macrophages with patient mutations from Aicardi–Goutières syndrome, a genetic, brain predominant interferonopathy, are sufficient to drive ...

According to the data, when microglia activity in the brain was suppressed, baby mice were better able to recall fearful experiences.

Researchers have unraveled how immune cells called microglia can transform and drive harmful processes like neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease. The study also integrates drug databases with real ...
