How a brain's anatomical structure relates to its function is one of the most important questions in neuroscience. It explores how physical components, such as neurons and their connections, give rise to complex behaviors ...
A University of Cologne research team has identified a direct molecular link between aging and neurodegeneration by investigating how age-related changes in cell signaling contribute to toxic protein aggregation.

The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals, while the latter support and protect neurons.
"Biological stochasticity"—random events at the molecular and cellular level—might be one of the biggest, most overlooked drivers of differences in how we age, says Ryo Sanabria.
