Exosomes carry signaling information required to regulate neural circuit development.
The phosphatase Prl-1 plays a key role in specifying where to form the highest density of synaptic connections on a neuron.
A new study reveals psychedelics increase dendrites, dendritic spines and synapses, while ketamine may promote neuroplasticity. The findings could help develop new treatments for anxiety, depression and other related disorders.
A new study sheds further light on the role astrocytes play in neurodegenerative disorders.
A new study reports antidepressant use in pregnancy is linked to a significant increase in the risk for the offspring to develop autism.
Researchers find the MIM protein bends plasma membrane to aid the formation of dendritic spines from the surface of the neuronal dendrite.
A study shows another family of proteins linked to neurodevelopmental disorders regulates the function of neuroligins and neurexins in order to suppress the development of inhibitory synapses.
