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

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them-an effect called infantile amnesia.

According to the data, when microglia activity in the brain was suppressed, baby mice were better able to recall fearful experiences.

Researchers have identified that microglia first help spread Alzheimer’s disease pathology across the brain and then activate to limit its neurodegenerative effects. Researchers from the VIB-KU Leuven ...

Move over, amyloid, reactive astrocytes and activated microglia may be the main drivers of the Alzheimer’s disease pathological cascade. In the November 6 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by Pedro ...

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

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