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.

Despite advances in machine vision, processing visual data requires substantial computing resources and energy, limiting deployment in edge devices. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are ...

New studies show that astrocytes, long thought to be support cells in the brain, are crucial intermediaries for relaying messages to neurons.

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.

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 ...

Summary: A research team has uncovered a molecular “switch” that precisely regulates NMDA receptors, key players in brain communication, by blocking excitatory synapse overactivity. The proteins MDGA2 ...

Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form, accounts for up to 80% of dementia cases. While Alzheimer’s disease is caused by abnormal protein buildup in the brain, other types of dementia, like ...

Both the legacy Baltimore Sun and the well-funded non-profit upstart Baltimore Banner are boosting their news-gathering abilities amid what is generally seen as challenging times for news ...

New York had a 15-minute ceremony before the game where the players received their championship rings and the banner was raised to the rafters of Barclays Center to the delight of the sellout ...
