A new study reveals how young synapses gradually mature to send chemical signals correctly — a process that can take days and depends on neural activity.

Nervous system functions, from motion to perception to cognition, depend on the active zones of neural circuit connections ...

Researchers led by a group at the Institute of Brain Science, Nagoya City University Graduate School of Medical Sciences and the Nagoya City University School of Medicine report that they have shed ...

New research published today in Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association could explain why neurons fail to communicate effectively in people with Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Nervous system functions, from motion to perception to cognition, depend on the active zones of neural circuit connections, ...

How do the circuits of the human brain work—and what happens when they are disrupted? To investigate these questions, ...

When we form a memory, brain cells need to deliver supplies to strengthen specific neural connections. A new study from MPFI ...

The brain is an almost inconceivably complex system of billions of neurons interlinked via trillions of connections that work to coordinate everything you do, think, and feel (Zimmer, 2011). This ...

A research team has developed a neuron device that holds potential for application in large-scale, high-speed superconductive neural network circuits. The device operates at high speeds with ultra-low ...
