New 3D reconstructions of a key sensory organ in ctenophores reveal an unexpected structural and functional complexity. The ...

Astrocytes use the MEGF10 receptor to prune synapses in the striatum, a process essential for dopamine-driven motor learning.

For some time, the field of neuroscience has been predominantly "neurocentric," viewing neurons as the primary agents of information processing while ...

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

Advanced 3D reconstructions of the comb jelly’s aboral organ reveal a sensory system far more complex than scientists expected. The organ contains a wide variety of specialized cells and is closely ...

A wave of recent neuroscience research has identified specific molecular and cellular mechanisms through which alcohol disrupts signaling between brain cells, offering a sharper picture of how ...

New research identifies the SNAP-47 protein as the key regulator of slow oxytocin release, maintaining the brain's "social vibe." ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by progressive cognitive decline and ...

Octopuses possess a unique ability to rewrite their genetic messages. They extensively edit RNA after its creation, altering instructions before proteins are built. This process, primarily in their ...
