Higher levels of an enzyme in the brain correlate with better cognitive function in older people

The findings could help in the search for therapies that act upon the gene itself

Previous studies indicated that similar diets could fight cancer and reduce the signs of aging

The results were the same after researchers adjusted for other factors that could affect memory and thinking skills

Study suggests same neural mechanism that interrupts body movement also interrupts cognition

Two young students show how maple syrup prevents the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in the C. elegans worm

Salk scientists show how immune receptors clear dead and dysfunctional brain cells and how they might be targets for treating neurodegenerative diseases

Chemicals designed to protect crops can cause gene expression changes in mouse brain cells that look strikingly similar to changes in the brains of people with autism and Alzheimer’s disease

Findings allow scientists to study neural stem cells' behavior without harming them

Scientists found the 'trigger' of the Alzheimer's disease
