Research released today provides valuable new insights into how the brain ages. From genes to proteins, from cells to circuits, subtle deficits can lead to declines in cognitive abilities. The findings were presented at Neuroscience 2015, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world’s largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.

Research released today demonstrates the importance of healthy neural networks for normal behavior and how malfunctioning synapses — the sites where neurons connect and communicate — may contribute to brain disorders. The findings were presented at Neuroscience 2015, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world’s largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.

With the launch of the BRAIN Initiative and similar projects around the globe, new tools and techniques are being developed that will change the way neuroscientists study the brain. Advances in computer software allow scientists to quickly create three-dimensional models of brain regions and compile larger models that span the entire brain. Innovations in stem cell technology are providing researchers with a new way to study human diseases, while other technological advances have led to the development portable and wireless devices that offer ways to image brains in moving subjects for the first time.
