Super-resolution microscopes have revealed a whole new type of connection between neurons in mouse and human brains. In the ...

By simply "sprinkling" this probe on top, active synapses will visibly light up so that researchers can clearly observe how living brain cells communicate—all within 10 seconds. This research gives us ...

When brain development gets off to a bad start, the consequences are lifelong. One example is a condition called SCN2A haploinsufficiency, in which children are born with just one functioning copy of ...

Researchers have achieved the first demonstration in mice of using gene therapy to reverse hallmark symptoms of ...

Wiring up the brain's trillions of circuit connections is an enormous job performed by a huge crew of molecules. Among the less understood members are circular RNAs, transcripts from DNA that assume a ...

A new model suggests that astrocytes might be used in computation, coordinating with neurons and connecting synapses in networks. A new model of memory — and a little-heralded type of brain cell — ...

New research from Oregon Health & Science University for the first time reveals the function of a little-understood junction between cells in the brain that could have important treatment implications ...

Synapse XT improves a person’s network of synapses, which bridge the nerve cells to each other. You can experience less brain fatigue and tinnitus relief. This supplement can also strengthen memory.

Researchers have developed synaptic transistors for brain-like computers using the thin, flexible material graphene. These transistors are similar to synapses in the brain, that connect neurons to ...
