To travel from the axon of one neuron to the dendrite of another neuron, a signal must cross the gap between neurons (the synapse), where it is translated from an electrical signal to a chemical ...

While chemical synapses often take center stage, it appears they’re not the only stars of the show. Recent research from scientists at Yale and the University of Connecticut has revealed the ...

Drugs targeting amyloid plaques have failed to show efficacy in clinical trials. A new approach is needed to tackle AD ...

it hops as an electric signal from neuron to neuron via a tiny space where the two cells meet called a synapse. The signal travels through synapses via chemical messengers, and different synapses ...

For the new study, the researchers investigated a specific type of connection between neuronal cells, called electrical synapses, which differs from the more widely studied chemical synapses. They ...

The authors explain that an action potential that reach an axon terminal emits a small electrical field as it "annihilates". This happens even though there is no gap junction, at chemical synapses.

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

Both the gas-powered Mazda6 that ended production for the U.S. market in 2021 and the all-electric Mazda MX-30 that was killed off in 2023 feel like distant memories. But that doesn’t mean Mazda ...
