A new study confirms that synapses between hippocampal neurons remain for the duration of an episodic memory.
Researchers report alpha-synuclein helps to marshal the correct number of vesicles into the right position to release their neurotransmitters across synapses.
Researchers succeed in restoring the ability of adult mice to form new connections in the brain.
Researchers identify the wiring process of inhibitory neurons implicated in a number of neurological disorders.
Researchers demonstrate how memristors could be used to power artificial systems to mimic the human brain.
Researchers use advanced imaging techniques to obtain insights into how the brain makes memories.
Researchers report too many connections form between neurons in the cerebellum and learning difficulties are expressed in mice who lack the RNF8 gene.
Researchers have identified a molecular mechanism which appears to be critical for the maturation of brain function, and may be used to restore plasticity in the aging brain.
A new study reports researchers have successfully directed stem cell derived neurons to regenerate lost tissue following corticospinal injury in rats.
The planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling pathway appears to play a significant role in the formation and maintenance of a large number of synapses.
A previously unrecognized system that drains waste from the brain at a rapid clip has been discovered by neuroscientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center and dubbed the glymphatic system.
Researchers report ApoE4 can reduce the number of functional synapses by interfering with the DNA responsible for synapse formation and maintenance.
