The researchers treated mouse serum with microplastics to form the microplastics that absorbed proteins, according to a ...

Microplastics have been found in our lungs, guts, and even our blood. Now, researchers say they may reduce protective enzymes and proteins that keep neurons strong.

Early on, Nedergaard and Iliff, a glial cell biologist and a vascular physiologist, respectively, hypothesized that waste ...

Microglia are a specialized type of immune cell that accounts for about 10% of all cells within the brain and spinal cord. They function by eliminating infectious microbes, dead cells, and aggregated ...

Modern imaging is contributing significantly to giving us a better understanding of how our brains work. In the long term, this will also help us to treat learning disorders in a more targeted way and ...

A French civil servant functioned normally with 90 percent of his brain missing. How is this possible? Research reveals ...

Neuromorphic computing, inspired by the brain, integrates memory and processing to drastically reduce power consumption compared to traditional CPUs and GPUs, making AI at the network edge more ...

The Emerging Investigator Series by the journal Materials Horizons features outstanding work by young researchers in the ...

When we think about drinking enough water, most of us focus on physical health benefits glowing skin, proper digestion, healthy kidneys, or better exercise performance. But what many overlook is that ...

To navigate something as complex and dynamic as the brain, a map would help. Researchers have learned an enormous amount about how we think, what drives our behaviors, and why we feel the way we do ...
