Researchers have developed a 3D model of synapses, and it is a form of imaging that explores more how cells communicate with each other that have massive applications in the medical industry. One of ...

Scientists at UC San Diego have uncovered processes that explain how our brains record new information, which could help aid advancements in brain and behavioral disorders and even artificial ...

Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas’ Center for Advanced Pain Studies (TX, USA) and their colleagues have made a fundamental discovery about a key mechanism that enables nervous system ...

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 ...

Synapse labeling strategies involve marking synaptic contact sites with different fluorescent proteins in the pre- and postsynaptic compartments. The interface between these contacts is also labeled, ...
