By just sprinkling it on top and waiting 10 seconds, researchers can use this new fluorescent probe to clearly show synapses, the connection points between brain cells.

This valuable manuscript addresses the longstanding question of how the brain maintains serial order in working memory, proposing a biologically grounded model based on synaptic augmentation ...

Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability and autism, is caused by silencing of the Fmr1 gene, leading to a lack of the FMRP protein, which regulates protein ...

Glutamate Receptor Function and Synaptic Plasticity Publication Trend The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Glutamate Receptor Function and Synaptic Plasticity.

In AD, synaptic plasticity, the brain's ability to regulate the strength of synaptic connections between neurons, is significantly disrupted. This worsens over time, reducing cognitive and memory ...

This study leverages cryo-correlative light and electron microscopy (cryo-CLEM) with triple fiducial markers to achieve ...

Characterization of intracellular synapse heterogeneity aides to understand the intricate computational logic of neuronal circuits. Despite recent advances in connectomics, the spatial patterns of ...

A research team has identified, for the first time in humans, and in a realistic environment, a key neurophysiological ...

A team of researchers from the University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, further investigated the link between hippocampal G ...
