Researchers have discovered a new mechanism that contributes to cell death after a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), providing a new target for therapeutic intervention. The mechanism — known as ...

After acute injury to the brain, neurons at the damage epicentre depolarize, and this depression of activity spreads outward in waves through the cortex. A recently published study sheds light on how ...

High-efficiency transporters that work like a shuttle system to constantly move ions into and out of neurons appear to slam into reverse following a stroke or other injury and start delivering instead ...

People with temporal lobe epilepsy in particular often wander around aimlessly and unconsciously after a seizure. Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn, and the ...

Scientists now confirmed a mechanism in mouse, bat and naked mole rat cells -- a 'mild depolarization' of the inner mitochondrial membrane -- that is linked to aging: Mild depolarization regulates the ...
