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

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

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

A protein that impacts Alzheimer’s disease offers new opportunities for targeted treatments, although its cell-specific ...

In a new study, researchers have found that a new chemical compound derived from the herbs could help to combat Alzheimer's disease and provide a new approach to treating the condition in the future ...

New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...

First described in 2001, MuSK antibodies impair agrin-induced AChR clustering during synapse formation and are also present in mature neuromuscular junctions. MuSK MG are mostly the IgG4 subtype.

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain.

As animals experience new things, the connections between neurons, called synapses, strengthen or weaken in response to ...

Using cutting-edge genetic tools, 3D electron microscopy, and artificial intelligence, Scripps Research scientists and colleagues have uncovered key structural hallmarks of long-term memory, called an ...

NIH-funded study uses cutting-edge imaging techniques to reconstruct features underlying learning and memory in the mouse ...
