The scientists behind a controversial new study were surprised by their own results. But they carefully did all they could to 'prove a negative,' and their neurogenesis study is shaking up the field.
There are several things we can do to speed up the development of new drugs, without putting patients at risk.
Creative people seem to possess a unique connection between three brain networks that typically work separately.
Harmful proteins spread between connected neurons much like flu spreads through a social network. The finding may provide future opportunities for halting Alzheimer’s.
