Neuroscientists have long dreamed of watching thoughts unfold as they happen, without disturbing the fragile tissue that ...

Neurons can rapidly rebalance their communication using a structural signal rather than electrical activity, overturning long-held assumptions about how synapses maintain stability.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Pesticides and their associated modes of action serve as real-world examples of chemical toxicity, stimulating student interest and supporting ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital used fluorescent imaging techniques to track the sequence of molecular events that kickstart the migration of developing neurons, implicating an ...

New research shows that neurons can stabilize their signaling using a fast, physical mechanism — not the electrical activity ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain’s neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...

The signaling mechanisms underlying the transition from stem cells to olfactory neurons has been described. Cellular differentiation of stem cells into specialized cells requires many steps, including ...

New research reveals that even a small loss of myelin—the protective coating around neurons—can severely disrupt how the brain sends and interprets sensory information.

In an effort to understand how brain cells exchange chemical messages, scientists say they have successfully used a highly specialized microscope to capture more precise details of how one of the most ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on aging research on January 8, 2025. The collection of reviews and perspectives reflects the progress made in ...
