For the study, the researchers used various imaging techniques to study a mouse model of MS. In doing so, they found that MS-associated inflammation causes phagocytes, immune cells that clear out ...

To further explore how Prickle regulates synapse numbers, the Zou lab generated mice that mimic a human mutation of Prickle2, which is known to cause autism. These mice showed a reduction or delay ...

A team has created biohybrid synapses that let living cells communicate with electronic systems, not with electrical signals but with neurotransmitters like dopamine.

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

There are few scientific methods more elegantly simple than "just sprinkle it on top." Researchers at Tohoku University and Nagoya University developed a fluorescent probe that can quickly show ...

These observations indicate that in contrast to its known kinase activity, ErbB4’s more important role, therefore, might be as a cell adhesion molecule interacting with Slitrk3 at the synapse.

Tech UCSD Scientists Find COVID Damages Brain Cell Synapses, But Propose Treatment by Debbie L. Sklar • Times of San Diego Nov. 3, 2022, 10:55 p.m.

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