How renegade protein interrupts brain cell function in Alzheimer's disease revealed
Neuroscientists have previously found that tau can become toxic when extra chemical molecules accumulate with its structure in the brain, causing it to form tangles of protein that destroy surrounding tissue.

Neuroscientists examine the way brain regions function independently, collectively
The latest research from his lab, published in Neuron, could eventually help us determine which abilities are particularly difficult to recover after a traumatic brain injury -- likely because these skills are represented in only one area of the brain -- and which are more resilient.

Glial – Brain cells that play vital role in controlling appetite identified!
Neuroscientists at MIT found that activating these brain cells stimulates overeating, and that when the cells are suppressed, appetite is also suppressed.

Here`s how our brain processes emotions
Some mental illnesses may stem, in part, from the brain's inability to correctly assign emotional associations to events. For example, people who are depressed often do not feel happy even when experiencing something that they normally enjoy.

'Lost' memories can indeed be retrieved: Scientists
Furthermore, the researchers were able to artificially stimulate those memories using a technique known as optogenetics, suggesting that those memories can still be retrieved with a little help.
