The cerebrum, especially the cerebral cortex, has long been thought to be the important part of our brain. However, the cerbrum contains less than 20 percent of the neurons in our brain. Eighty ...

Huntington's disease has long defied attempts to rescue suffering neurons. A new study in Cell Reports shows that transplanting healthy human glial progenitor cells into the brains of adult animal ...

Characterization of intracellular synapse heterogeneity aides to understand the intricate computational logic of neuronal circuits. Despite recent advances in connectomics, the spatial patterns of ...

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

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

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

New research shows a single neuron in fruit flies can trigger two distinct behaviors in response to the same smell.

There are few scientific methods more elegantly simple than "just sprinkle it on top." Researchers at Tohoku University and ...

The International Human Frontier Science Program Organization (HFSPO) is pleased to award the 2026 HFSP Nakasone Award to ...

This communication occurs at a highly specialized site of contact between a presynaptic nerve terminal and a postsynaptic neuron — the synapse.

Neuron 27, 301–312 (2000). Disruption of endophilin and synaptojanin function at the giant synapses of the lamprey impairs endocytosis and produces an accumulation of clathrin-coated ...
