The complexity of the human brain is unparalleled. Fortunately, thanks to constant progress in neuroscience over the past decades, we have started to make some sense of it. For instance, we now know ...

Researchers have developed a 3D model of synapses, and it is a form of imaging that explores more how cells communicate with each other that have massive applications in the medical industry. One of ...

Dr Knight said: “In this new study, we are able to gain a new understanding of the genomic mechanisms which regulate how nerve cells communicate at synapses. These genomic mechanisms involve methyl ...

A new study published in Cell is reshaping our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the brain, the proteins that are present at synapses. Titled "The proteomic landscape of synaptic ...

Co-written with Jai Liester. Silent synapses represent one of neuroscience's most fascinating discoveries—connections between neurons that lie dormant until activated by specific triggers. These ...

A team of scientists from the University of Cologne's Institute of Biochemistry has made a decisive discovery about the molecular basis of synapse formation in the central nervous system. They studied ...

Nerve cells communicate with one another via synapses. Neuroscientists at the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich have now found that these connections seem to be much more powerful than previously ...

Nerve cells communicate with one another via synapses. Neuroscientists have now found that these connections seem to be much more powerful than previously thought. The larger the synapse, the stronger ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An illustration of blue neurons against a black background; some are glowing orange with points of light, representing electrical ...

Experts have discovered that reversing the modification of molecular messages at synapses in the human brain, may contribute to reversible mental health conditions such as anxiety, and memory diseases ...
