Mesh-like scaffold is disordered in Alzheimer’s-affected cells

A new finding offers a fresh insight into one of the earliest biological events of Alzheimer’s disease and is expected to open new avenues of study.

Been here before: How the brain builds place memories

Neuroscientists have succeeded in activating dormant memory cells in rats. Using weak electrical impulses targeted at previously inactive cells in the hippocampus, the researchers induced the cells to recognize the exact place where the impulse had bee…
