which severely impairs the function of synapses and the survival of the affected nerve cells." However, the underlying processes are only partially understood. Using a model system, Dr. Ziebarth ...

These neurotransmitters help block signals while exerting a calming effect on nerve cells, which can reduce pain. Likewise, SNRIs such as duloxetine (Cymbalta) and venlafaxine (Effexor ...

slender extensions of nerve cell bodies that transmit messages. Researchers observed axon regrowth in injured mice that received a single treatment injection of the growth-factor protein ...

Animal studies show that fasting could improve brain function, increase nerve cell synthesis, and protect against neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s.

The treatment targets calpain-2, a protein believed to contribute to nerve cell damage in ALS. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either AMX0114 or a placebo via intrathecal injection, ...

Lead researcher Ania Majewska, PhD, explained the goal clearly: “We enhanced norepinephrine signaling and saw less inflammation and nerve cell injury in early Alzheimer’s models.” Researchers used ...

Apr. 22, 2025 — Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) technique that brings machine vision closer to how the human brain processes images. Called Lp-Convolution, this ...
