Early intervention in a mouse model of Dravet Syndrome prevented onset of critical disease symptoms.

Researchers are developing gene and cell therapies and prosthetics to help patients with blindness regain some vision. The first major prosthetic, the Argus II, was just discontinued. Where will the field go from here?

Sleep may seem like a mindless activity, but what goes on in the brain when we sleep suggests otherwise.

Membraneless droplet like organelles known as condensates are changing the way some scientists approach drug discovery.

By using extracellular vesicles to target specific neurons in the hypothalamus, scientists induced weight loss in a mouse model of obesity without altering its diet or exercise.

Exercise may improve cellular power plants gone haywire to ward off Parkinson’s disease. But researchers are still trying to understand how.

The FDA approved the first video game prescription in 2020. Since then, researchers are building more “prescription video games.” However, they aren’t sticking to 2D games; they are developing virtual reality experiences.

Researchers use ingenious strategies for breaking through the blood-brain barrier.

Mitochondria aren’t just the bean-shaped powerhouses of the cell. They are dynamic organelles that modify their structures to match their functions. Now, new research shows that mitochondrial morphology correlates not only with function, but also with symptom severity in autism.
