The brain has its own immune system, which detects threats and mounts a defense. A growing body of evidence has shown that in ...
Researchers have used gene therapy to partially reprogram the brain cells that store memories in aging mice, reversing signs of cellular decline and restoring learning ability. The technique, ...
