Research teams have created a versatile set of gene delivery systems that can reach different neural cell types in the human ...

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

Researchers from the lab led by Prof. Joris De Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) have discovered an important clue to how connections ...

Currently, the researchers are using CRISPR-TO to move endogenous RNAs – RNA molecules that are naturally produced within the ...

Their results, published in Neuron, uncover the mechanism of how increased CLU protects the brain from amyloid plaques and loss of synapses ... implications for the design and testing of new ...

In their mathematical framework for how systems of cells can encode and process information, Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts argued that each brain cell, or neuron, could be thought ... not of ...

They found that in a critical subregion, the dentate gyrus, stimulated mice had significantly more synapses. The team not only examined gene expression across individual cells, but also analyzed ...

Within the brain are circuits of neurons that communicate with one another via junctions known as synapses. The pre-synaptic neuron, which sends the signal, releases proteins known as ...

This important study provides compelling insights into the differential impact of intrinsic and synaptic conductances on circuit robustness using computational ... The model cells are connected by ...
