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 ...

Xenon is one of the six noble gases. Its name derives from the Greek word for “strange”. In medicine, it has been used as an ...

Research indicates that following the onset of an acquired brain injury (ABI), the brain initiates an immediate ...

Enter SynPull, a new synaptosome imaging method developed by David Klenerman, John Danial, and colleagues at the University of Cambridge, England. SynPull combines single-molecule pull-down of ...

The entorhinal cortex (EC) plays a pivotal role in memory function and spatial navigation, connecting the hippocampus with the neocortex. The EC integrates a wide range of cortical and subcortical ...

the addictive potential of some drugs of abuse and the elimination of synapses in neurodegenerative diseases. The two major forms of long-lasting synaptic plasticity in the mammalian brain ...

Taking inspiration from nature, a group of scientists have amalgamated hybrid materials to form a robust biomimetic system that closely mimics the behavior of biological synapses. This can pave the pa ...

A recent study has uncovered how specific genetic mutations in α2δ-1 and α2δ-3 proteins linked to autism spectrum disorders ...

Using a single-cell sequencing technique, Brazilian researchers have created the first cell atlas of focal cortical dysplasia ...

Scientists have pinpointed a brain circuit that, when activated, reduces anxiety without impairing memory. Using ...
