Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have demonstrated that a single, standard silicon transistor, the ...

Concepts encoded by concept neurons can be an animal, an article of clothing, a place, or a person. The concept can be evoked ...

Over the past decade, a growing amount of research has revealed how liquid-liquid phase separation mediates protein ...

Furthermore, we currently have little understanding of the functional states of synapses on a cell-assembly basis. What is the overall signaling impact of synaptic inputs at physically non ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

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 ...

A comprehensive Thought Leaders Invited Review in Brain Medicine highlights the crucial role of CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). CD2AP influences amyloid-beta processing, ...

T cells, move over. B cells are now reported, in a recent paper in Nature, to have their own immunological synapses with APCs. Only this time the antigen is whole and B cells don't keep it to ...

Immunological synapse (IS) formation is a key part of developing and sustaining immune responses against cancer and is necessary for T cells and NK cells to eliminate tumor cells. This webinar will ...

So, they obtained cochlear samples from adult mice that had normal hearing and were either exposed to psilocin or left untreated and labeled the synapses between cochlear hair cells and auditory ...
