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 ...

Researchers have identified the mitochondrial calcium uniporter as a critical protein in the strengthening of synaptic ...

Scientists have uncovered a crucial pathway that links brain cell activity to the activation of genes responsible for ...

Activation of a small fraction of the tens of thousands of excitatory synapses on a pyramidal neuron can probably evoke dendritic spikes, but these events do not always propagate to the soma and ...

They needed something that could hop across synapses, spreading from neuron to neuron efficiently enough to reach detectable levels even in cells connected across long distances. Luckily for the ...

Artificially engineered biological processes, such as perception systems, remain an elusive target for organic electronics experts due to the reliance of human senses on an adaptive network of sensory ...

Sleep's role to down-scale glutamate, excitatory, frontal cortical synapses is extended to include an up-scaling of metaplastic LTP potential, in recovery from prolonged waking induced saturation of ...
