Age affects the brain’s response to physical and cognitive stimuli: it matures in young people and rejuvenates in older people.
CSIC scientists reveal the 3D structure of DNA in mouse neurons during ageing and after environmental stimulation.The results show that external stimuli, such as learning or physical activity, influence the brain differently depending on age: young and old people do not process or benefit from the environment in the same way.

Progressive alterations in polysomal architecture and activation of ribosome stalling relief factors in a mouse model of Huntington’s disease
Researchers from the Subcellular Architecture group of the CINN and the Health Research Institute of the Principality of Asturias (ISPA) identify, through three-dimensional electron microscopy and molecular techniques, alterations in neuronal polysomal architecture in animal models of Huntington’s disease. These findings indicate that changes in the architecture of the protein synthesis machinery may underlie translational […]
