A newly published study in Protein and Cell identifies glutamine synthetase, an enzyme concentrated in brain support cells ...

International researchers develop NTAC, an AI that identifies neuronal types with 90% accuracy based purely on synaptic connectivity, outperforming traditional shape-based methods.

A new study on the detriments of too many synaptic connections in the mouse cerebellum by neuroscientists at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis corroborates previous human ...

The ability to regrow lost synapses can be life changing; for Derek Small, cofounder and CEO of the start-up Syndeio Biosciences, it holds personal relevance. Around a decade ago, Small watched his ...

Can caffeine save your social life? New research shows how caffeine restores social memory impaired by sleep deprivation by targeting the hippocampal CA2 region. Learn about the molecular mechanisms ...

The screen worked, flagging expected cancer genes. But it also kept returning something that seemed impossible: genes for synapses, glutamate receptors, and neural signaling pathways. “We absolutely ...

Researchers headed by a team at the University of Texas at Dallas’ Center for Advanced Pain Studies (CAPS) have made a fundamental discovery about a key mechanism that enables nervous system ...
