The functioning of the brain relies on the establishment of very precise connections between neurons: synapses. A recent ...

Silent synapses are dormant neural connections that hold untapped brain potential. Discover how ketamine, exercise, and other ...

The hormone, which is well known for regulating appetite, appears to influence neuronal development—a finding that could shed light on disorders such as autism that involve dysfunctional synapse ...

When a B cell encounters membrane-bound antigen, signalling through the B-cell receptor (BCR) induces cytoskeletal reorganization and morphological changes that lead to the formation of an ...

A study from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz found that fruit flies raised at lower temperatures develop more neural ...

A comprehensive Thought Leaders Invited Review in Brain Medicine highlights the crucial role of CD2-associated protein (CD2AP ...

Over the past decade, a growing amount of research has revealed how liquid-liquid phase separation mediates protein interactions throughout the cell and, furthermore, at the synapse. While this ...

Boost has developed a proprietary human iPSC platform and cutting-edge experimental technologies to interrogate human synapse and neuronal network formation and function. The company’s mission ...

When growth cones reach their synaptic targets, they must both send and receive signals in order to promote formation of mature synapses. We know little about the identity of such signals ...
