The functioning of the brain relies on the precise organization of neuronal connections. In an article published in Developmental Cell, scientists show how neurons establish their connections ...
Researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a large ...
Researchers at Brown University and Cincinnati Children’s found that suppressing opsin 3 in the brain of mice makes them eat ...
Researchers have identified the mitochondrial calcium uniporter as a critical protein in the strengthening of synaptic ...
Most neuroscience research carried out up to date has primarily focused on neurons, the most renowned type of cell in the ...
Researchers have systematically detailed, step by step, how cognitive maps form in the brain's hippocampus -- a region responsible for learning and memory.
Detecting toxic forms of tau before they weave into dense thickets of tangles could pave the way for earlier diagnosis and ...
In a new study published in Science, a Belgian research team explores how genetic switches controlling gene activity define ...
Scientists develop groundbreaking dual-action drug RI-AG03 that targets toxic tau proteins in Alzheimer's disease, showing ...
This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...
New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.
