A team of researchers shows how proteins called 'chaperones' are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When this neurotransmission breaks down, devastating diseases such ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst is the first to show how proteins called "chaperones" are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When ...

Some scientists believe that toxic tau fibrils hop between synapses to spread throughout the brain, prompted by Aβ aggregates and overactive neurons. New imaging and biomarker data add weight to this ...

The literature states that in 1858, Rudolf Virchow introduced the term neuroglia as a descriptor. This was based on his observations of the biological connections between the brain and spinal cord. He ...

Researchers led by a group at the Institute of Brain Science, Nagoya City University Graduate School of Medical Sciences and the Nagoya City University School of Medicine report that they have shed ...

The brain chemicals behind your mood, sleep, and body functions Medically reviewed by Shaheen Lakhan, MD, PhD, FAAN Ever wonder what's going on in your brain when a certain mood strikes? You can thank ...

The chaperone Hsc70 (green) helps keep SNAP-25 in the proper shape so that it can help form the SNARE complex, enabling neurotransmission. AMHERST, Mass. – A team of researchers from the University of ...
