A research team led by investigators at McMaster University has identified an axonal guidance signaling pathway that cancer cells use to infiltrate the brain. The combined results of preclinical in ...

A new pathway that is used by cancer cells to infiltrate the brain has been discovered by a team of Canadian and American research groups led by the Singh Lab at McMaster University. The research also ...

A cross-sectional image of the mouse cerebral cortex in enlargement. The same method was applied as in the ferret. The cerebral cortex is shown in blue and some neurons are dyed green with GFP. In ...

A hallmark of Parkinson's disease is the buildup of Lewy bodies—misfolded clumps of the protein known as alpha-synuclein.

A collaborative study led by Professor Vittoria Raffa at the University of Pisa and Assistant Professor Fabian Raudzus (Department of Clinical Application) has unveiled a novel approach that uses ...

Within the human brain, movement is coordinated by a brain region called the striatum, which sends instructions to motor neurons in the brain. Those instructions are conveyed by two pathways, one that ...

A new study definitively reveals the existence of a system that had been theorized to clear metabolic wastes in the human brain. The study uses imaging in neurosurgery patients to show how brain's ...
