Findings could help develop new treatments for depression, researchers report.
A new study presents evidence that neurons maintain correlated levels of mRNA to ensure a consistent ratio of ion channels.
Researchers report huntingtin plays a critical role in long-term memory.
Researchers describe the diversity of neurexin proteins which are essential in the creation of synapses.
Researchers discover UPF1 helps determine whether an immature neural cell remains as a stem cell or develops into a functional neuron.
Researchers use advanced imaging techniques to obtain insights into how the brain makes memories.
Two new studies provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms that underlie the learning process.
Researchers discover neurons have a special preassembly technique to speed up the manufacture of proteins at synapses, enabling synaptic plasticity and the brain to rapidly form memories.
A new study finds protein synthesis in dendrites could be responsible for long-term memory formation in the brain, in addition to other functions.
