A new study demonstrates the possibility of changing the identity of synapses between neurons, both in vitro and in vivo, through enzymatic means. The results have implications for treating brain ...
The complexity of the human brain is unparalleled. Fortunately, thanks to constant progress in neuroscience over the past decades, we have started to make some sense of the human brain. For instance, ...
A research team led by Dr. Àlex Bayés, Head of the Molecular Physiology of the Synapse Group at the Institut de Recerca Sant Pau (IR Sant Pau), has achieved what for decades had been an elusive goal: ...
DGIST (President Kuk Yang) announced on the 26th (Tuesday) that a joint research team of professors Um Ji-won and Ko Jae-won of the Department of Brain Sciences reported a new genetic mutation related ...
The latticework of extracellular protein that surrounds brain cells forms a particularly dense mesh around fast-spiking interneurons. Why do these cells need such thick coats? In the July 17 Nature ...
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 ...
BIN1, a late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) genetic risk factor, is involved in many cellular phenomena, including vesicular trafficking and tau production. Now, in the August 26 Cell Reports, ...
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is an important brain region with respect to behavioral regulation. Aberrations in serotonin (5-HT) during early development have been reported to be associated with ...
As you’re reading this sentence, the cells in your brain, called neurons, are sending rapid-fire electrical signals between each other, transmitting information. They’re doing so via tiny, specialized ...
