The laboratory of Ege Kavalali, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, published a paper in Nature ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

Early menopause and poor brain-connection health may interact to increase Alzheimer's disease risk in women, a study found.

In research published in Cell Reports, Harnett and his team show how individual neurons can contribute to both parts of this ...

This webinar will highlight how the evaluation of IS formation at the single-cell level can support the discovery of new ...

Although chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy has raised hopes for long-term remission in autoimmune disease, it has ...

Furthermore, we currently have little understanding of the functional states of synapses on a cell-assembly basis. What is the overall signaling impact of synaptic inputs at physically non ...

Thanks to Olson, Manor and his team obtained cochlear samples from adult mice that had normal hearing and were either exposed ...

Erythropoietin-producing hepatoma (Eph) receptors, including EphA4, are expressed on the cell surface and involved in brain development, which involves extensive pruning of synapses. A variant in ...

With these synchronized neuron cultures, the team observed their gradual maturity over 100 days by monitoring the development of synapses, cell length, and electrical properties. By using RNA ...
