Challenging the standard paradigm of schizophrenia research
Research
EPFL
Analyzing EEG measurements of almost two hundred schizophrenia patients and healthy controls, researchers at EPFL now challenge the standard paradigm underlying research in the field.
Protein ‘traffic jam' in neurons linked to neurodegeneration
Research
EPFL
A new study by EPFL researchers reveals how a malfunctioning protein complex can lead to the buildup of toxic forms of Tau, a protein involved in Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.
Network assembly through cell division
Research
ETH Zurich
ETH Zurich researchers have developed a model that explains how nerve cells in the brain connect during development. Their model reveals that the crucial factor is progressive cell division. This process leads naturally to the formation of molecular addresses that lets neurons navigate.
Brain stimulation improves motor skill learning at older age
Research
EPFL
Non-invasive brain stimulation can restore optimal motor skill acquisition in people with diminished learning capabilities, e.g. due to age. The study was carried out by scientists at EPFL.
