Parkinson’s disease is increasingly being viewed as more than a disorder of movement. As populations age worldwide, the progressive neurodegenerative...

Artificial intelligence may be exceptionally good at recognizing patterns in medical data, yet that strength can become a weakness when...

A newly identified mechanism may explain how tau protein helps drive Alzheimer’s disease and other tauopathies, according to research from...

A new study has identified and characterized a population of cells in the brain’s subventricular zone that may resemble the...
