Late-life depression is a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, in particular because it accelerates progression from mild cognitive impairment to dementia. How this happens remains largely ...

A holistic inquiry into how toxic tau impacts synapses provides a new take on the processes that lead to neuronal dysfunction ...

Scientists from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and the University of Edinburgh have discovered that a little-understood junction that connects neurons to oligodendrocyte precursor cells ...

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

Family with sequence similarity 19 member A5 (FAM19A5) is a secretory protein highly expressed in the brain that regulates synapse dynamics through its interaction with leucine-rich repeat-containing ...

A technical paper titled “3D Neuromorphic Hardware with Single Thin-Film Transistor Synapses Over Single Thin-Body Transistor Neurons by Monolithic Vertical Integration” was published by researchers ...

The Noelin family of secreted proteins bind to the external portion of AMPA glutamate receptors and stabilize them on the neuronal cellular membrane, a process necessary for transmission of ...

As we age, we begin to lose the connections that wire up our brains-and neuroscientists aren't sure why.
