A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal ...

A research team led by Dr. Àlex Bayés, Head of the Molecular Physiology of the Synapse Group at the Institut de Recerca Sant Pau (IR Sant Pau), has achieved what for decades had been an elusive goal: ...

In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...

For an agency in the process of being gutted and possibly shut down, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is generating a lot of news. On Thursday, the CFPB filed an official complaint and an ...

(a) Schematic of the experiment in mouse hippocampal neurons. For chronic silencing, a cocktail (“blockers”) with tetrodotoxin (TTX, 1 μM final concentration), ω-agatoxin IVA (ω-Aga, 250 nM) and ...

This is a valuable and rigorous study that addresses the question of what determines the spatial organization of endocytic zones at synapses. The authors use compelling approaches, in both Drosophila ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...

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 customers ...

Electrical synapses that carry messages through the brain have been artificially engineered in mammals for the first time, altering their behaviour. This could have potential for preventing or ...
