Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate ...

The spread of tau protein aggregates in the brain—a process that drives cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia—has been studied with a model that incorporates human ...

The new model developed by Flatiron Institute researchers proposes that biological neurons have more control over their surroundings than previously thought, something that could be replicated in the ...

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived motor neurons (in green) co-cultured with iPSC-derived astrocytes (in red). [VIB] Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s ...

Not all α-synuclein inclusions are created equal. That’s the upshot from a new stem cell approach to study “inclusionopathies,” such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. As reported in the ...

Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...
