Researchers have developed a cutting-edge technique that uses RNA “barcodes” to map how neurons connect, capturing thousands ...

Summary: For decades, scientists have known that the protein tau acts like a wildfire in the brain, leaping from region to region and leaving a trail of cognitive decline. Now, a decade-long study has ...

By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse brain with unprecedented speed and resolution.

The brain's 'garbage disposal' system falters with age, a new study finds, with long-lived neurons offloading clumpy, old proteins onto other brain cells. Many of those proteins are involved in brain ...
