A new study by Pitt researchers challenges a decades-old assumption in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses distinct transmission sites—not a shared site—to achieve different types of ...

Neurodegenerative disorders, most notably Alzheimer’s disease (AD), are marked by progressive cognitive decline and widespread neuronal loss. A growing body of evidence indicates that synaptic ...

Summary: A new study reveals how young synapses gradually mature to send chemical signals correctly — a process that can take days and depends on neural activity. Researchers tracked this in fruit ...

ABSTRACT: Psychiatric and neurological disorders often exhibit overlapping symptomatology and shared neurobiological mechanisms, yet pharmacological treatments are typically developed and administered ...

Summary: New research has overturned a long-held belief in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses separate synaptic transmission sites for spontaneous and evoked signaling. Traditionally thought ...

On May 14, 2025, FERC accepted Southwest Power Pool, Inc.’s (“SPP”) proposed revisions to its Open Access Transmission Tariff (“OATT”) to modify its high priority transmission study planning process.

Abstract: NEURON simulations for mossy fiber boutons show that conductivity changes in one bouton can induce resting membrane potential changes in nearby boutons, altering the pre-synaptic Calcium ...

This paper presents miniML, an AI-based framework for the detection of synaptic events. Benchmark results presented in the paper are compelling, demonstrating the superiority of miniML over current ...

Observe the intricate process of synaptic transmission, showcasing how neurotransmitters are released and their essential role in communication within the nervous system. 3D animation. Royalty-free ...

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has updated its electric utility transmission siting regulations to modernize and accelerate how transmission infrastructure is planned, permitted, ...
