Just one protein situated on the synapse can profoundly alter how some neurons communicate and implement plasticity.
A new study reveals the mechanisms by which neurons and astrocytes work together to form synapses.
Study reveals why human brains are so good at learning. The findings could help with the development of more efficient AI models.
Findings shed new light on the gut's enteric nervous system, offering hope for treatments for a range of disorders.
A new technique dubbed light beads microscopy allowed researchers to generate a vivid functional movie of the near-simultaneous activity of almost a million neurons in the mouse brain.
A new microscopy technique allows researchers to capture detailed images of the activity of vast amounts of neurons across different depths in the brain at high speed and clarity.
Blocking specific opioid receptors in specific neurons in mice restored breathing that occurred as a result of opioid overdose.
Findings reveal how individual neurons in the thalamus can merge signals coming from different regions of the cortex. The findings could lead to new treatment options for schizophrenia, epilepsy, and other brain disorders where thalamus dysfunction is related to clinical symptoms.
The release of neurotransmitters in the brain is impaired in people with schizophrenia who have the neurexin 1 gene mutation.
Researchers have identified a novel population of neurons in the temporal pole that links facial perception to long-term memory.
Specific hippocampal neurons may be involved in time-related memory encoding. Findings reveal the human brain contains time-tracking neurons.
A new deep learning algorithm is superior to human experts in distinguishing between retinal ganglion cells in healthy patients and in those with glaucoma. The AI system could potentially help improve the diagnosis of both eye and brain diseases.
