The study explores molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity - the strengthening or weakening of neuronal connections that enable learning and memory.

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

This study examined the important question of how neurons code temporal information across the hippocampus, dorsal striatum, and orbitofrontal cortex. Using a behavioral task in the rat that requires ...

If the drug is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of acute pain in January as expected, the drug could set the stage for the development of further compounds that target ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do ... supporting players detect and respond to neuron damage. Published in Nature Communications ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...
