A research team led by Dr. Àlex Bayés, Head of the Molecular Physiology of the Synapse Group at the Institut de Recerca Sant Pau (IR Sant Pau), has achieved what for decades had been an elusive goal: ...
It takes just a few milliseconds: A vesicle, only a few nanometers in size and filled with neurotransmitters, approaches a cell membrane, fuses with it, and releases its chemical messengers into the ...
Co-written with Jai Liester. Silent synapses represent one of neuroscience's most fascinating discoveries—connections between neurons that lie dormant until activated by specific triggers. These ...
Electron microscope image of neurons in the cerebellum. This slice through the cells in the cerebellum shows a dendritic branch of a Purkinje cell and its side arms (yellow) receiving several ...
A researcher has developed a new model that provides a holistic view on how our brain manages to learn quickly and forms stable, long-lasting memories. Their study sheds light on the crucial role of ...
The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.
Psychedelics stimulate the growth of synapses outside the brain, scientists show for the first time. Many psychedelics act by binding to serotonin receptor 2. Manor and his team found that these ...
Scientists have taken a major step in understanding how animal brains make decisions, revealing a crucial role for electrical synapses in 'filtering' sensory information. The new research demonstrates ...
