Connectomics researchers aim to map and understand how individual neurons connect to each other to form functional networks.
Study opens the door for the exploration of information processing in vestibular synapses.
Researchers used neuroimaging technology to show the creation and elimination of synapses between neurons in the brains of living mice. The findings provide insight into what happens when memories are created and forgotten. The research could pave the way for new treatments for PTSD.
Lab-created retinal cells created from human stem cells can reach out and connect to neighboring cells, a new study reports. The cells have the capacity to replace damaged retinal cells and carry sensory information. The findings could pave the way for clinical trials for the treatment of a range of diseases associated with vision loss and blindness.
Findings support modern thought that neural networks store information by making short-term alterations to the synapses. The study sheds new light on short-term synaptic plasticity in recent memory storage.
Study reveals a signaling pathway that controls the formation of synapses between pyramidal neurons and inhibitory neurons expressing the parvalbumin protein.
Bergmann glial cell synaptic engulfing in the cerebellum was enhanced during motor learning in mice.
A new 3D electrode array allows researchers to map the activity and location of up to 1 million synaptic links in a living brain.
A new study using 3D-MINFLUX technology allowed researchers to image the active zone of synapses with the precision of a few nanometers.
Researchers present an all-atom molecular dynamic simulation of synaptic vesicle fusion.
Researchers characterize a novel neural population within the striatum that appears to be responsible for the interplay between acetylcholine and GABA.
A rare genetic mutation that causes blindness also appears to be associated with above-average intelligence, a new study reports.
