A molecular handshake between a neuronal adhesion protein and a cell-surface receptor may help explain why some brain tumors behave...

Parkinson’s disease is often introduced through its most visible symptom: tremor. Yet for many patients, the condition is far more...

The insula, a folded region tucked deep within the lateral sulcus of the cerebral cortex, is emerging as one of...

Psychedelic drugs are moving rapidly from counterculture to clinical science, but one central question continues to frustrate researchers: how can...

Parkinson’s disease has long been studied through the lenses of aging, genetics and the nervous system’s response to environmental stress....

A new study is bringing molecular precision to one of Parkinson’s disease’s most important biological puzzles: why changes in the...

Parkinson’s disease is often described through its most visible symptoms: tremor, slowed movement, muscle stiffness and problems with balance. But...

Spinal cord injuries affect an estimated 15–20 million people worldwide, frequently causing permanent loss of movement, sensation, and independence. Damage...

Electrical stimulation of the human brain can reorganize neural activity in ways that are closely tied to gene regulation, according...
