Scientists Map Molecular Mechanism that May Cause Toxic Protein Buildup in Dementing Disorders

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—There is no easy way to study diseases of the brain. Extracting brain cells, or neurons, from a living patient is difficult and risky, while examining a patient’s brain post-mortem usually only reveals the disease’s final stages.

High-Resolution Mapping Technique Uncovers Underlying Circuit Architecture of the Brain

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—The power of the brain lies in its trillions of intercellular connections, called synapses, which together form complex neural “networks.” While neuroscientists have long sought to map these complex connections to see how they influence specific brain functions, traditional tech

Key Protein is Linked to Circadian Clocks; Helps Regulate Metabolism

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Inside each of us is our own internal timing device. It drives everything from sleep cycles to metabolism, but the inner-workings of this so-called “circadian clock” are complex, and the molecular processes behind it have long eluded scientists.
