An international team of researchers led by the Francis Crick Institute, working with the Paul Scherrer Institute, has ...

Researchers have demonstrated an artificial organic neuron, a nerve cell, that can be integrated with a living plant and an artificial organic synapse. Both the neuron and the synapse are made from ...

In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted ...

In a major brain science breakthrough, New Orleans-based researchers and collaborators have discovered a nerve signaling ...

Researchers from Germany have found that Multiple sclerosis (MS)-associated inflammation in the cerebral cortex destroys neural connections known as synapses that go on to impair neural activity. MS ...

Courtesy of Chelsy Eddings Scientists have captured the moment two brain cells communicate using a technique that stimulates ...

Researchers have shown how RNA-binding proteins modulate synaptic responses that mediate the transmission of nerve cell impulses. Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich researchers have shown ...

New research reveals that neurons release a little-understood extracellular kinase called VLK to strengthen synaptic ...

Inner hair cells (IHCs) in the cochlea are the mammalian phonoreceptors, transducing sound energy into graded changes in membrane potentials, the so called “receptor potentials.” Ribbon synapses ...

Synapse XT improves a person’s network of synapses, which bridge the nerve cells to each other. You can experience less brain fatigue and tinnitus relief. This supplement can also strengthen memory.

Ten years ago, three research teams published a breakthrough — the first description of the molecular mechanism for transduction in fingertip sensory Merkel cells that can transduce gentle touch, a ...

How many "listeners" a nerve cell has in the brain is strictly regulated. This is shown by an international study led by the University College London and the universities of Bonn, Bordeaux, and ...
