Researchers have developed a new super-resolution high-throughput imaging method. Using the new technique, the scientists were able to create a 3D neuronal cell atlas with single-molecule resolution ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The human brain processes complex information while consuming merely the power of a dim light bulb. This remarkable efficiency stems from synapses, the connections between brain ...

New research from Colorado State University into the ways neurons regulate chemical balance in the brain could provide valuable insights toward developing therapies for disorders such as epilepsy.

Synaptic dysfunction heralds cognitive and behavioral decline in neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Oligomers of Aβ, tau, and ɑ-synuclein may be to blame, but ...

Electrical synapses that carry messages through the brain have been artificially engineered in mammals for the first time, altering their behaviour. This could have potential for preventing or ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...
