While neurons and glial cells are by far the most numerous cells in the brain, many other types of cells play important roles. Among those are cerebrovascular cells, which form the blood vessels that deliver oxygen and other nutrients to the brain.

Researchers have created a comprehensive atlas of cerebrovascular cell types and their functions that could help reveal new drug targets for Huntington’s disease.

A new Baycrest study reports that older adults store too much information in their brains, leading them to have "cluttered" memories. As a result of these cluttered memories, they have more trouble remembering specific and detailed information compared to younger adults

MIT researchers created a comprehensive atlas of the types of cells found in the brain cerebrovasculature, which provides oxygen and nutrients to the brain and helps form the blood-brain barrier. They also found significant differences between healthy cells and those from Huntington’s disease patients.

When a person tries to access a memory, their brain quickly sifts through everything stored in it to find the relevant information.

Lifetime of knowledge clutters memories in older adults: Study

We often rummage through our brains to remember that tiny bit of information that has the potential to absolutely turn our situation around

Experts claim that sifting through memories gets harder as people get older because they accumulate years of knowledge
