When we learn a new motor skill—whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking—the brain must reorganize the circuits that control movement. For decades, this process of synaptic ...

Astrocytes use the MEGF10 receptor to prune synapses in the striatum, a process essential for dopamine-driven motor learning.

A landmark study of nearly 24,000 brain scans found that childhood diet didn't just affect body weight — it left lasting ...

Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) has entered into an agreement to deploy Synaptic Aviation's AI-powered ramp visibility platform at all passenger gates across the airport. The airport-wide ...

Anesthetizing the retina of a “lazy” eye for just two days can restore vision in mice.

NeuroStar TMS is a noninvasive, outpatient treatment that revitalizes the dormant synapses in the brain that are underactive and affect mood. The treatment delivers magnetic impulses to this area ...

Structurally, they look similar: MNK1 and MNK2 belong to the same enzyme family and are best known for regulating how cells ...

Under stress, animal cells pair inactive ribosomes into RNA-linked disomes. A ribosomal RNA “kissing loop” joins them, protecting ribosomes and reducing protein synthesis to conserve energy.<br /> ...

Maternal immune activation reprograms the fetal brain, increasing alcohol-seeking behavior after adolescent exposure. Prenatal antioxidants act as a key preventive.
