Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a serious neurological disease that usually causes permanent disability. Approximately 2.9 million people are affected worldwide, 240,000 in Germany alone. The exact cause ...

Axons are the brain’s information highways, transporting cellular cargo, chemical signals, and electrical impulses to other cells. These “roads” are typically depicted as smooth and cylindrical, with ...

The ultrathin tendrils that zip messages around the nervous system are often drawn as smooth lines. But a new study adds some flourishes to that classical picture. Like a garland of cranberries hung ...

Researchers shed new light on how myelin loss might underpin aberrant brain activity which have been observed in people with multiple sclerosis. The study suggests that myelination, however patchy on ...

Before we discuss the exciting new discovery of cholesterol-based drugs, have you ever considered why your brain is white? It is because the brain synthesizes its own cholesterol through a process ...
