A new study shows that prolonging cellular energy in brain cells helps transform fleeting experiences into lasting memories.

NEW YORK, NY (March 26, 2025)--Everything the brain does—from storing memories to interpreting sights to regulating emotions—requires energy, all produced by cellular organelles called mitochondria.

An international team led by Jaime de Juan-Sanz at the Paris Brain Institute has shown that slightly increasing the metabolic ...

Boosting mitochondrial calcium by inhibiting the LETM1 protein enhances long-term memory formation in flies and mice.

New research finds that sleep is essential for protecting brain mitochondria by transferring toxic metabolic waste from neurons to glial cells for disposal.

A stressful year leads to anxiety. Lasting isolation gives way to depression. An old trauma nags until it becomes paralyzing. Psychological and social experiences shape the brain, potentially leading ...

Physical rehabilitation and symptom management still remain the mainstay of treatment for stroke, as clot removal or dissolution is effective only within a narrow time frame after the stroke. After ...

These findings suggest a promising new approach to neurotherapeutics that targets the underlying mechanisms of diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, rather than just managing symptoms. The study ...

Scientists reveal how sleep protects brain cells, manages metabolic damage, and may help explain links to Alzheimer’s disease ...

A researcher at the University of Missouri has made a promising breakthrough in the quest to help people with amyotrophic ...

We spend nearly a third of our lives sleeping, yet the biological trigger behind sleep has remained elusive. Despite decades of research, scientists have struggled to identify a concrete, physical ...
