Researchers discover a new form of neurotransmission which influences the long term memory created by addictive drugs. Read More
A new study reports on how neurons equalize between excitation and inhibition. Read More
Researchers report miniature neurotransmission appears to play a key role in synaptic development. Read More
Researchers report on how nerve cells recycle vesicles. The findings suggest the process is much faster and different that previously proposed. Read More
Mistakes made during the associative learning process activate two distinct neural networks in the brain, researchers discover. Read More
Researchers were able to visualize neuronal activity, thanks to a new protein which fluoresces brightly each time it senses calcium. Read More
Caspase-2 is a key regulator of a signaling pathway which leads to cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease, a new study finds. Read More
Using bioluminescent proteins from a jellyfish, scientists lit up the inside of a neuron, capturing spectacular video footage that shows the movement of proteins throughout the cell. The video offers a rare peek at how proteins, the brain's building blocks, are directed through neurons to renew its structure. Read More
Yale University researchers have discovered a key cellular mechanism that may help the brain control how much we eat, what... Read More
A fundamental new discovery about how nerve cells in the brain store and release tiny sacs filled with chemicals may... Read More
