Synaptic plasticity, the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken over time in response to changes in their activity, is a central foundation of learning and memory. At synapses, presynaptic cells ...
Researchers from the lab led by Prof. Joris De Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) have discovered an important clue to how connections between brain cells, known as synapses, mature. These new findings, published in ...
The work by Yue and colleagues is notable not only for its technical sophistication but also for its unifying ambition. By deploying genetically encoded adenosine sensors with high temporal resolution ...

Scientists found a fresh Alzheimer’s trigger, then a drug that switches it off, in animal tests
Researchers at Northwestern University have identified a specific step inside brain synapses where the toxic Alzheimer’s ...
For all its mysteries, the brain can sometimes be described through simple metaphors. For example, communication between neurons works in many ways like a busy shipping depot: components come in, ...
Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they unexpectedly found new information about a protein's special role in getting brain cells to communicate at the right time and place in experiments with ...
Researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a large ...
Bioengineers and neuroscientists at the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford University have developed a highly sensitive tool for detecting brain cells' subtlest electrical signals. Published ...
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 ...
