Scientists developed two new sensors that can detect brain cell communication in real time, tracking chemical messages ...

Scientists in Japan say they have reversed the signs of Alzheimer’s disease in lab mice by restoring the healthy function of synapses, critical parts of neurons that shoot chemical messages to other ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication ...

Whether picking up a small object like a pen or coordinating different body parts, the cerebellum in the brain performs essential functions for controlling our movement. Researchers investigated how a ...

New research for the first time reveals the function of a little-understood junction between cells in the brain that could have important treatment implications for conditions ranging from multiple ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their ...

A technical paper titled “3D Neuromorphic Hardware with Single Thin-Film Transistor Synapses Over Single Thin-Body Transistor Neurons by Monolithic Vertical Integration” was published by researchers ...

A research team led by Dr. Àlex Bayés, Head of the Molecular Physiology of the Synapse Group at the Institut de Recerca Sant ...

In order for large-scale artificial neural network hardware to become practical in the future, it is essential to integrate artificial neuron and synaptic devices, and it is necessary to reduce mass ...

During prolonged trains of presynaptic action potentials (APs), synaptic release reaches a stable level that reflects the speed of replenishment of the readily releasable pool (RRP). Determining the ...
