A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

Blocking microglia prevents infant forgetting and improves memory in mice, suggesting they play a key role in memory ...

For a long time, neuroscientists treated this forgetting as a cognitive glitch or a simple lack of brainware maturity. But a ...

Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New mouse data reveal that ageing neurons struggle to clear synaptic proteins, shifting the burden to ...

A study in mice suggests infantile amnesia is not a failure of memory, but a developmentally useful process guided by brain ...

According to the data, when microglia activity in the brain was suppressed, baby mice were better able to recall fearful experiences.

Researchers have identified that microglia first help spread Alzheimer’s disease pathology across the brain and then activate to limit its neurodegenerative effects. Researchers from the VIB-KU Leuven ...
