How do we think, feel, remember, or move? It all depends on transmission of chemical signals in the brain, carried and released by molecular containers called vesicles. In a new study, researchers ...

A new study challenges a decades-old assumption in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses distinct transmission sites -- not a shared site -- to achieve different types of plasticity.

Arnold, professor of biological sciences and biomedical engineering, and his team created two molecular tools — one that targets excitatory synapses and another that targets inhibitory ones — using an ...

The quantal composition of evoked synaptic currents has been inferred from multiple, equally spaced modes in amplitude histograms for some brain synapses in slices or in culture ...

Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have identified a remarkably small but critical piece of genetic code ...

As artificial intelligence and smart devices continue to evolve, machine vision is taking an increasingly pivotal role as a ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have upended the decades-old dogma of how connections between brain cells ... and interact with synapses, which are the ...

Sankaet Pathak’s last startup, fintech Synapse, filed for bankruptcy in 2024 amid issues with partner Evolve Bank & Trust. Tens of millions of dollars in deposits made by consumers, mostly ...

A study of long-distance runners shows the brain’s remarkable ability to adapt—by burning its own fat. A marathon taxes more than just muscles—it pushes the brain to its metabolic limits.

A patient who types with his brain thanks to a Neuralink implant is using AI chatbots to speed things up. Last November, Bradford G. Smith got a brain implant from Elon Musk’s company Neuralink.

A hospital is using a breathing tube and other measures to keep a brain-dead Georgia woman's body functioning because she is pregnant ATLANTA -- A pregnant woman in Georgia was declared brain-dead ...
