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

Synapses are the highly specialized connection sites between neurons enabling the establishment of complex neuronal networks. As highly plastic structures, synapses collocate both the transmission and ...

The regulation of neuronal excitability and the maintenance of an appropriate balance between excitation and inhibition are central to brain function. Inhibitory synaptic transmission, predominantly ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...

This fundamental study reveals the major role of calcium-binding proteins (CaBP1 and CaBP2) in sustained exocytosis from mouse inner hair cell ribbon synapses. Compelling data and analysis from ...

A new study published in Molecular Psychiatry has provided groundbreaking insights into the biological underpinnings of autism, revealing that adults with autism have fewer synapses in their brains ...

Summary: Researchers have discovered that stronger synaptic connections between neurons in the brain trigger deeper sleep. Using a molecular tool called SYNCit-K, scientists enhanced synaptic strength ...

Abstract: With the rapid development of electronics and photonics technology, terahertz waves have been extensively used in biomedicine, safety inspection, and communication. The applications of ...

Maintaining optimal cognitive function is crucial for personal and professional success in today’s fast-paced world. Synaptic XR Brain Caps, a cutting-edge brain supplement, promises to enhance mental ...

Jinhyun “Jinny” Kim is a principal investigator at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (Seoul, South Korea). Her lab develops and uses advanced technologies to map mammalian synaptic ...

Abstract: The process of learning and memory formation in the hippocampus is a complex phenomenon involving changes in synaptic efficiency that shape the connections between associated neurons.
