While comparing neurons and transistors is a convenient metaphor (and not completely out of left field), the brain is ...

Discover how the brain "eats" itself during a marathon, and how the recovery process opens doors to possible MS treatments.

In long-lived animals, renewed but thin myelin sheaths are enough to restore the impaired nervous system and can do so for years after the onset of disease, scientists have discovered.

The answer lies in a membranous structure called myelin. Aa Aa Aa . All our activities — eating, walking, talking — are controlled by our brains, the center of the nervous system.

Efficient removal of abnormal myelin allows survival of nerve fibers targeted by adaptive immune cells, according to a novel study by scientists of the University Hospital Würzburg.

Marathon brain” is real, a new study suggests. A neurologist explains why running hard temporarily reduces brain function.

The myelin sheath covers and insulates axons, aiding the conduction of electrical signals between nerves. The process of demyelination disrupts this electrical nerve conduction, ...

Imagining that oligodendrocytes function like myelin printers, the emerging hypothesis was that the cells had plenty of ink (cholesterol), but “the ink is getting stuck inside the cartridge,” says ...
