PSEN1 and PSEN2 are equally capable of unleashing Aβ peptides, but they do so within different cellular haunts. While PSEN1 prefers to bask on the cell surface and sometimes ventures into the early ...

Immune cells play an unexpected role in fine-tuning the brain's neural circuits, according to research published in September, 2020 in Neuron. The immune cells that reside there, known as microglia, ...

A technical paper titled “In situ electrical property quantification of memory devices by modulated electron microscopy” was published by researchers at Hitachi High-Tech Corporation, KIOXIA ...

However, the engrams and circuits that support neocortical memory consolidation have thus far been unknown. We found that neocortical prefrontal memory engram cells, which are critical for remote ...
