Ion channels use a "ball-and-chain" mechanism to help regulate ion flow. Findings confirm a long-standing hypothesis about ion channels and provide key advances in understanding the basic biological processes at work.
A new electronic microscopy study has captured microglia perform their role in synaptic pruning.
A new study reports researchers have developed an innovative method to examine brain structure and have discovered that the brain is not as compact as previously thought.
