Scientists have found that the process of adaptive myelination, which helps the brain learn new skills, can also promote addiction to opioids. Our brains, even in adulthood, continually adapt to what ...

Our brains, even in adulthood, continually adapt to what we do, strengthening or weakening neural pathways as we practice new skills or abandon old habits. Now, research by Stanford Medicine ...

UB researchers have identified a critical step in myelination after birth that has significance for treating neurodegenerative diseases like multiple sclerosis, in which myelin is lost or damaged.

A new study from Spain reveals that babies born to mothers exposed to higher air pollution levels in pregnancy show signs of slower brain myelination, a subtle but ...

Black gold staining in postmortem human brain samples from three individuals reveals significantly less myelination in people carrying a copy of the APOE4 Alzheimer's disease risk gene. [Tsai ...

Osteocalcin (OCN) is a multifunctional bone-derived hormone that modulates numerous physiological activities. OCN can cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) and thus play critical roles in neuronal and ...

How does brain activity change from childhood to old age? Researchers introduce Xi–αNET, an AI model linking EEG rhythms to nerve-signal speed and myelination. Discover why alpha waves slow down as we ...

Osteocalcin (OCN) is a multifunctional bone-derived hormone that modulates numerous physiological activities. OCN can cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) and thus play critical roles in neuronal and ...

Scientists have shown in both anxious rats and military veterans with PTSD that acute stress is associated with increased myelination of axons in areas of the brain associated with memory and emotions ...

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hesperos, a leader in recreating human biology with its’ Human-on-a-Chip ® platform, has announced a breakthrough development of a human induced pluripotent stem cell ...
