July 6, 2021 —Research in mice reveals how a subset of highly specialized immune cells modulate brain wiring by precision-targeting inhibitory synapses. The work deepens understanding of the versatile repertoire ...
June 29, 2021 —Researchers have shown how RNA-binding proteins modulate synaptic responses that mediate the transmission of nerve cell ...
Dec. 20, 2021 —To solve the mysteries of how learning and memory occur, scientists have created a system to track millions of connections among brain cells in mice -- all at the same time -- when the animals' ...
Sep. 1, 2022 —Scientists have discovered a new kind of synapse in the tiny hairs on the surface of neurons. The commonly overlooked protrusions called primary cilia contain special junctions that act as a shortcut ...
Dec. 20, 2021 —A new theory of consciousness provides experimental access to the study of this phenomenon. Not just in ...
May 20, 2022 —Researchers have reported a nano-sized neuromorphic memory device that emulates neurons and synapses simultaneously in a unit cell, another step toward completing the goal of neuromorphic computing ...
Oct. 1, 2021 —Researchers have made a surprising discovery about the human gut's enteric nervous system that itself is filled with surprising facts. For starters, there's the fact that this 'second ...
Nov. 5, 2021 —A team of researchers has now demonstrated the existence of an internal diffusion barrier in the brain of fruit flies - in addition to the already known blood-brain ...
Sep. 14, 2021 —A study analyzing over 15,000 individual synapses in macaques and mice found that primate neurons have two to five times fewer synapses in the visual cortex compared to mice -- and the difference may ...
July 11, 2022 —Researchers have captured images of an auto-antibody bound to a nerve cell surface receptor, revealing the physical mechanism behind a neurological autoimmune disease. The findings could lead to new ...
