Neurons in the brain communicate with each other through synapses—connection points that allow the passage of electrical and ...

Past neuroscience studies have consistently showed the profound effects of early life experiences on the brain's wiring, particularly on the formation of the junctions that enable communication ...

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. New research published in ...

Peukes et al. report compelling ultrastructures of excitatory synapses in the mouse forebrain that will serve as a reference for future work in the field. Their important findings using correlated ...

The authors survey the ultrastructural organization of glutamatergic synapses by cryo-ET and image processing tools using two complementary experimental approaches. The first approach employs ...

Representative cryo-electron microscopy image: a coloured image of the 3D structure of gephyrin, which was calculated from the data. A team of scientists from the University of Cologne’s Institute of ...

Signalling between neurons and tumour cells in the lung and brain promotes the growth of small-cell lung cancer. These interactions might be a therapeutic target. Read the paper: Neuronal ...

If there's one thing that's crystal clear about Alzheimer's disease, it's this: It eats away at neurons and the links between them, ultimately destroying the neural networks that underlie our memories ...

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority charged former Synapse Brokerage CEO Jeffrey Stanley and its former compliance chief, Mark Paverman, late last month with misconduct that allegedly led to ...
