Cerebrovascular perfusion, blood–brain barrier (BBB) integrity, microgliosis, and amyloid-beta 42 (Aβ 42) accumulation were examined. Cognitive functions were assessed using the Morris water maze, ...

We used these neuroscience tools in a mouse model of cancer cachexia to study the effects of the disease on the brain and motivation.

For the first time, however, experts succeeded in visually tracking the movement of microplastics through brain blood vessels in mice—and the pile-ups resembled a microscopic “car crash.” ...

Microplastics may cause blockages in blood vessels in the brain and affect behavior, according to a study on mice.

In a Study on Mice, Scientists Show How the Brain Washes Itself During Sleep The brain’s waste-removal process is “like turning on the dishwasher,” a neurologist says, but common sleep ...

Glyphosate exposure in mice exacerbates Alzheimer's-like neuropathologies, increases neuroinflammation, and leaves lasting effects, even after prolonged recovery.
