Researchers discovered that a circular RNA is crucial for synapse development and plasticity in the mouse visual system.

An international research team led by a University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine investigator has revealed ultra-detailed ...

Wiring up the brain's trillions of circuit connections is an enormous job performed by a huge crew of molecules. Among the less understood members are circular RNAs, transcripts from DNA that assume a ...

A new study reveals how young synapses gradually mature to send chemical signals correctly — a process that can take days and depends on neural activity.

A layered graphene and chromium oxychloride device functions as a broadband optical synapse, detecting visible to deep ...

For the first time, the nanoscale structure and molecular composition of the transport packets that transport central building blocks to the developing synapses will be deciphered. The aim is to ...

Neuronal communication relies on the precise regulation of synaptic compartments, where protein activity, localization, and turnover are tightly controlled. Among the mechanisms ensuring this ...
