This happens even though there is no gap junction, at chemical synapses ... The strength of the work is that authors identified an important interaction between neurons that is neglected by the ...

A new study has identified a group of neurons that, when activated, can induce a hypometabolic state, akin to hibernation. The discovery could have far-reaching implications for conditions like ...

The Dorsetshire Gap, the target of this walk, is a junction of ancient trackways at a natural break in the high ridge between Nordon Hill and Nettlecombe Tout. The same routes still converge at ...

Its pathological hallmark is the abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn) into insoluble fibrils and Lewy bodies, leading to the degeneration and death of dopaminergic neurons in the ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Autophagy, particularly through the protein ATG5, plays a crucial role in maintaining brain health by regulating glucose metabolism in neurons. In Purkinje cells ...

One driving instructor has revealed his ultimate hack to avoid being stuck at a T junction, and it’s easier than you might think. Uppingham-based 'R' Drive School of Motoring often shares clips ...

Our brain is an energy-efficient marvel, with 86 billion neurons and trillions of connections ... and forming neural pathways, bridging the gap between AI and NI. Understanding the differences ...

"These strategies used helped us create the tools needed for other scientists to target these specific neurons, which will help in discovering more and novel functions of these cells and subtypes ...

Using conventional cell models to study histone modifications has been the focus of epigenetic research for years, but to study them in neurons is particularly challenging. It was not until 2019 ...

When plotted (see chart) the steadily growing gap looks “like the jaws of a yawning crocodile”, says Jakkie Cilliers of the Institute for Security Studies, a South African think-tank.

While neurons are the main drivers of synaptic plasticity, glial cells are increasingly recognized for their roles as active modulators. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear.
