Glutamate receptors, including AMPA and NMDA subtypes, are pivotal mediators of excitatory transmission and plasticity across the mammalian central nervous system. Their regulation, which involves ...
How do we learn something new? How do tasks at a new job, lyrics to the latest hit song or directions to a friend's house become encoded in our brains? The broad answer is that our brains undergo ...
As animals experience new things, the connections between neurons, called synapses, strengthen or weaken in response to events and the activity they cause in the brain. Neuroscientists believe that ...
Shedding light on how the brain fine-tunes its wiring during learning, a new study finds that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow distinct rules. The findings challenge the idea ...
Two poster presentations at ACNP highlight new research on the fundamental biology of molecules targeting synaptic function in CNS disease Insights advance translational model supporting Gate’s lead ...
How do we learn something new? How do tasks at a new job, lyrics to the latest hit song, or directions to a friend’s house become encoded in our brains? The broad answer is that our brains undergo ...
In December of 1993, former World Boxing Champion John Famechon (who had sustained severe incapacitating brain injuries in August 1991) began a new, complex multi-movement therapy and rehabilitation ...
Synaptic pruning is a crucial neurodevelopmental process through which the brain refines its neural circuitry by systematically eliminating excess or weak synaptic connections. During early childhood ...
In a new study published in Nature Communications titled, “Modelling synaptic dysfunction in childhood dementia using human iPSC-derived cortical networks,” researchers from Flinders University in ...
