Powerful chemical biological techniques have now been developed to decipher the dynamic stability of the synapses and to further interrogate the complex properties of neuronal circuits.

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers from the ...

Transmission of information or signal from one neuron to another requires the establishment of a neuronal synapse: either chemical (neurotransmitters) or electrical (protein channels and ions).

A new collaboration has unlocked new potential for the field by creating a novel high-performance organic electrochemical neuron that responds within the frequency range of human neurons.

Researchers have identified a unique mitochondrial process in CA2 neurons that supports learning, memory, and social ...

Scientists have uncovered a crucial pathway that links brain cell activity to the activation of genes responsible for ...

Artificially engineered biological processes, such as perception systems, remain an elusive target for organic electronics experts due to the reliance of human senses on an adaptive network of sensory ...

The nucleus where the genes that modify neuron function are controlled is a long distance away from where neurons receive input from their synapses, which are located in distant dendrites that ...

A recent study has uncovered how specific genetic mutations in α2δ-1 and α2δ-3 proteins linked to autism spectrum disorders (ASD) alter neuronal functionality. These mutations significantly reduce the ...

Researchers found that the neuronal energy conservation program ... They have to supply their synapses, i.e. their contact points with other neurons, but also organize their protein synthesis ...
