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

Scientists have long known that the brain's visual system isn't fully hardwired from the start—it becomes refined by what ...

In the cerebral cortex, numerous neurons exchange information through junctions known as synapses. The strength of each ...

Recent experiments have challenged the belief that glial cells, which compose at least half of brain cells, are just passive support structures. Despite this, a clear understanding of how neurons and ...

Abstract: This paper presents interneuron synaptic communication models with relay synaptic neuron (RSN) positioned in the synaptic gap. Utilizing a time-slotted channel framework, each slot transmits ...

How an electrical signal crosses that synaptic gap is not yet entirely understood, but the basic process seems to go like this: a presynaptic neuron receives a message that it has information to ...

The Hsc70 system maintains the synaptic SNARE protein SNAP-25 in an assembly-competent state and delays its aggregation. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2024; 300 (12): 108001 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc ...

When a neuron is activated, it sends electrical signals down its axon, which are converted into chemical signals at the synapse. These chemicals, called neurotransmitters, are released into the ...

Significant research has been directed toward evaluating synaptic changes in CSF to enhance early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases before neuron loss and track disease progression (Lleó et al., ...
