Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

Scientists have uncovered how a protein helps build and maintain vital brain connections, providing insights into the ...

New research shows that low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can restore key synaptic structures in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.

Unsilencing synapses. To investigate whether these filopodia might be silent synapses, the researchers used a modified version of an experimental technique known as patch clamping.

While glucose, or sugar, is a well-known fuel for the brain, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have demonstrated that ...

Scientists have mapped the molecular structure of glutamate receptors in the cerebellum for the first time using ...

Silent synapses are dormant neural connections that hold untapped brain potential. Discover how ketamine, exercise, and other interventions can awaken these connections.

The herb rosemary has been linked with memory—now researchers turned the compound against Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition that affects a significant proportion of older people ...

Silent synapses are dormant neural connections that hold untapped brain potential. Discover how ketamine, exercise, and other interventions can awaken these connections.

Electrical synapses that carry messages through the brain have been artificially engineered in mammals for the first time, altering their behaviour. This could have potential for preventing or ...
