Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is not only characterized by strongly encoded traumatic memories, but also by disrupted ...
New research reveals that psilocybin and MDMA promote long-term PTSD recovery by physically remodeling myelin insulation in the brain, synchronizing disrupted neural circuits.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is not only characterized by strongly encoded traumatic memories, but also by disrupted coordination across brain networks. New research shows that treatment with ...
Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to construct new maps of mouse brains showing a precise location of more than 10 ...
Millions of myelin-producing cells have been mapped in the mouse brain, advancing our understanding of nervous system ...
When myelin breaks down, white matter in the brain deteriorates, a change commonly seen with aging. At the same time, microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, can shift from protective responders ...

Recent research on marathon runners found a reduction in an important brain substance called myelin after the race. The study author explains how this may actually benefit cognitive health, rather ...
You might well think that myelin, the fatty insulation that speeds action potentials between neurons, falls solely under the purview of oligodendrocytes. After all, these specialized cells wrap ...
A study of marathon runners, carried out by the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), CIC biomaGUNE and IIS Biobizkaia, reveals the unexpected behavior of myelin Exercise for a long period of ...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a serious neurological disease that usually causes permanent disability. Approximately 2.9 million people are affected worldwide, 240,000 in Germany alone. The exact cause ...
