Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have discovered how herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), the virus that causes cold sores, can fundamentally change how the brain's immune cells ...

In a bioluminescent mouse model of late-stage Trypanosoma brucei infection, the brain shifts from glucose to fatty acid and lipid metabolism while learning, memory and anxiety-like behaviour remain ...

Researchers have used gene therapy to partially reprogram the brain cells that store memories in aging mice, reversing signs of cellular decline and restoring learning ability. The technique, ...

A team has identified an experimental molecule capable of "reprogramming" the brain's immune cells to restore part of their protective function against Alzheimer's disease. The study, published in the ...

Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons act as the brain’s rhythm keepers. By regulating local circuit activity and maintaining excitation–inhibition balance, they help stabilize cortical network function. When ...
