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

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

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

Optical fibers are fundamental components in modern science and technology due to their inherent advantages, providing an ...

All known human languages display a surprising pattern: the most frequent word in a language is twice as frequent as the ...

Here we focus on the synaptic and cellular physiology of LHb neurons. First, we discuss the properties of excitatory transmission and the implications of glutamate receptors for long-term synaptic ...

Synaptic plasticity is the biological process by which specific patterns of synaptic activity result in changes in synaptic strength and is thought to contribute to learning and memory.
