New research has identified that neuroinflammation driven by microglia (immune cells in the brain) is a primary underlying ...

A study in mice suggests infantile amnesia is not a failure of memory, but a developmentally useful process guided by brain ...

Neurodegenerative diseases, traditionally viewed as driven by neuronal decline, are increasingly recognized to involve significant immune dysfunction within and outside the central nervous system (CNS ...

Blocking microglia prevents infant forgetting and improves memory in mice, suggesting they play a key role in memory ...

Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile ...

For a long time, neuroscientists treated this forgetting as a cognitive glitch or a simple lack of brainware maturity. But a ...

New research published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity provides evidence that alcohol use disorder triggers a distinct type of immune response in the brain. The findings suggest that excessive ...

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them-an effect called infantile amnesia. A type of brain immune cell called microglia might control this type of ...
