Your body’s ability to self-heal nerves in the brain can be compromised by a toxic internal environment – will researchers look for the diet connection?

Nobody can explain the processes of the brain fully, but there are some things we do know about it, such as the brain’s ability to repair itself called neuroregeneration. When the nerve fibers of the brain lose its protective coating, called myelin, the brain sends adult stem cells to regenerate a new myelin sheet. This process […]

Scientists are closer to understanding how your brain stores information

Researchers at the Interdisciplinary Institute for Neurosciences (CNRS/Universite de Bordeaux) and the Bordeaux Imaging Center (CNRS/Universite de Bordeaux/Inserm) have discovered a new process for storing information in synapses and controlling how such information was stored, paving the way for understanding memory’s molecular mechanisms and learning processes. Messages between neurons pass through more than one billion […]
