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

New research shows that low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can restore key synaptic structures in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.

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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition that affects a significant proportion of older people ...

To sustain high rates of transmitter release, synaptic terminals must rapidly re-supply vesicles to release sites and prime them for exocytosis. Here we describe imaging of single synaptic ...

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