Synapses are the connection points where neurons establish contact with each other to transmit information. For this ...

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

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

In the antennae of Drosophila melanogaster, olfactory neurons are bundled into fluid-filled hairs called sensilla. Each sensillum contains two to four neurons, which are all tuned to different smells ...

By influencing calcium homeostasis, local protein synthesis and the endoplasmic reticulum, a small protein called Rab10 emerges as a crucial cytoplasmic regulator of neuropeptide secretion.

Scientists are working on breaking the physical limits of what semiconductors can do, merging human brain neurons with ...

The team led by Associate Professor Mario Lanza from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the College of ...

Our research investigates how these liquid-like properties contribute to the main function of the neuron in synaptic signaling. The synapse, a highly ordered and dynamic subcellular system ...

2). However, agrin itself is not necessary for the formation of neuron–neuron synapses. This has led to an intensive search for trans-neuronal inducers. Among the candidates are cadherins ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have demonstrated that a single, standard silicon transistor, the ...

The shortfall has impacted the lives of people across the nation. Their stories are about splintered trust, upended plans and ...

Making the transistor operate as a neuron or synapse is as simple as selecting the appropriate resistance for the bulk terminal. The physical phenomenon of "impact ionisation" had traditionally ...
