Previous studies have established that information is stored in neurons in the form of strong and weak synapses. It is the ...

Such treatments could work by using KIBRA to deliver PKMzeta or similar molecules to weakened synapses. However, with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, the conditions damage and ...

Microglia, the brain’s immune cells, play a crucial role by engulfing these weak synapses. Specific molecules, such as complement proteins (C1q, C3, and C4) and fractalkine signaling ...

Excitatory synapses are located in confined chemical spaces called the dendritic spines. These are atypical femtoliter-order microdomains where the behavior of even single molecules may have ...

Researchers studied synapses that form between muscle cells and motor neurons in fruit flies to identify the properties of strong synapses that are more likely to release neurotransmitters. In results ...
