Researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute and Tufts University have engineered frog-cell constructs that autonomously assemble ...

Researchers identify the Munc13-1 protein as a crucial molecular pathway for working memory, linking calcium signaling to synaptic strengthening.

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

Working memory is a cognitive function that is essential for carrying out everyday activities and temporarily retaining ...

Few specific therapeutic targets exist to manage brain injury, despite the prevalence of stroke or traumatic brain injury. With traumatic brain injury, characteristic neuronal changes include axonal ...

Neurons or nerve cells are the fundamental components of the central nervous system and are critically involved in signal transduction pathways. Transmission of information or signal from one neuron ...

Working memory is a cognitive function that is essential for carrying out everyday activities and temporarily retaining information.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest types of tumors. A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has discovered that pancreatic tumors exploit the body’s nervous system by forming ...

The ability to measure the connectivity of each neuron in a neural circuit has established large maps of neuronal pathways—the connectome. But the extent to which those connectivity measurements alone ...

In the Alzheimer’s disease brain, synaptic loss correlates with cognitive decline, and is considered a sign of disease progression. But is synaptic loss always bad? Provocative new data from several ...
