The brain’s chatter has always been partly out of reach, with electrical spikes easy to record but the chemical whispers ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

This study presents SynaptoGen, a differentiable extension of connectome models that links gene expression, protein-protein interaction probabilities, synaptic multiplicity, and synaptic weights, and ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain that can be caused by infections or autoimmune reactions. Even when patients survive the acute phase, many are left with long-lasting neurological problems ...

Neuroscientists have long listened to the brain’s electrical spikes, but those loud crackles are only the final output of a ...

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 ...

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 ...
