Synapses are subcellular microcompartments that are essential for a digital form of transneuronal communication, mediated by chemical mediators termed neurotransmitters. At excitatory synapses in ...

The laboratory of Ege Kavalali, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, published a paper in Nature ...

Researchers from the Department of Physics have managed to experimentally develop a new magnetic state: a magneto-ionic vortex or "vortion." The research, published in Nature Communications, allows ...

As animals experience new things, the connections between neurons, called synapses, strengthen or weaken in response to ...

Recalling those new words and definitions more easily with practice is evidence that those neural connections, called ...

An electrical impulse cannot directly cross the gap so a different mechanism has to be used. Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent ...

The rate of development of poikilothermic animals, such as insects, fish, and reptiles, is determined by environmental ...

Scientists at Scripps Research developed a stable form of carnosic acid, which enhanced memory function and improved ...

The rate of development of poikilothermic animals, such as insects, fish, and reptiles, is determined by environmental temperature. A research team has recently demonstrated how temperature can affect ...

Microscopy images show fluorescently stained mouse brains expressing genes that cause Alzheimer’s disease. Compared with an ...
