New research from Colorado State University into the ways neurons regulate chemical balance in the brain could provide ...

A team of scientists from the University of Cologne's Institute of Biochemistry has made a decisive discovery about the molecular basis of synapse formation in the central nervous system. They studied ...

A research team led by Dr. Àlex Bayés, Head of the Molecular Physiology of the Synapse Group at the Institut de Recerca Sant ...

How do we learn new things? Neurobiologists using cutting-edge visualization techniques have revealed how changes across our synapses and neurons unfold. The findings depict how information is ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication ...

Scientists are beginning to show that learning is not exclusive to neurons and synapses. At the scale of billionths of a ...

The microscopic image shows a nerve cell and a magnified view of the investigated synapses. Calcium was released at these sites using a UV flash, which triggered the release of the neurotransmitter.

Instant synapse visualization with our fluorescence probe. A diagram showing that the fluorescent probe can visualize AMPA receptors on synapses by sprinkling. There are few scientific methods more ...

Co-written with Jai Liester. Silent synapses represent one of neuroscience's most fascinating discoveries—connections between neurons that lie dormant until activated by specific triggers. These ...

In Nature Communications, a research team affiliated with UNIST present a fully biodegradable, robust, and energy-efficient ...

Scientists in South Korea have created an artificial synapse that works with extremely low energy, remembers information for ...
