The brain’s chatter has always been partly out of reach, with electrical spikes easy to record but the chemical whispers ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

This study presents SynaptoGen, a differentiable extension of connectome models that links gene expression, protein-protein interaction probabilities, synaptic multiplicity, and synaptic weights, and ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

Synaptic pruning is a crucial neurodevelopmental process through which the brain refines its neural circuitry by systematically eliminating excess or weak synaptic connections. During early childhood ...

How do we learn something new? How do tasks at a new job, lyrics to the latest hit song, or directions to a friend’s house become encoded in our brains? The broad answer is that our brains undergo ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Nerve cells, or neurons, are the basic functional units of the nervous system. Multiple interconnected neurons form a neural circuit and ...
