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 ...

Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...

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

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.
