As summarized in Science, the study describes a unified “kiss-shrink-run” mechanism of synaptic transmission. This model ...

Millisecond ‘kiss and run’ exchange – captured in a China lab on the world’s first camera equipped to do it – solves a ...

Nervous system functions, from motion to perception to cognition, depend on the active zones of neural circuit connections ...

Researchers in Göttingen, Germany, have elucidated the structure and function of otoferlin, a protein that plays a crucial ...

A new study reveals how young synapses gradually mature to send chemical signals correctly — a process that can take days and depends on neural activity.

In a study published in Science on October 17, a team led by Prof. BI Guoqiang from the University of Science and Technology of China/Shenzhen ...

A research team has resolved a 50-year-old controversy in neuroscience. By employing a self-developed, time-resolved ...

A new color-changing material can remember and forget like a brain cell, creating self-erasing images that hide information ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have uncovered a biological process that increases the production of myelin—the fatty ...

When we form a memory, brain cells need to deliver supplies to strengthen specific neural connections. A new study from MPFI and Weill Cornell Medicine has revealed how two cellular switches, Rab4 and ...

An international research team has mapped the millisecond-by-millisecond process by which nerve signals activate muscles, uncovering a previously unseen “primed” intermediate step.

Neuronal membranes are much more than structural barriers: they are living interfaces—dynamic platforms enabling signaling, ion transport, energy ...
