In a study published in Science today, Mingsha Zhang, a neuroscientist at Beijing Normal University, focused on the thalamus.

Neurons communicate with each other by passing millisecond-long signals across tiny junctions called synapses. Experiences ...

These mysterious structures have revolutionized our understanding of brain plasticity and development while opening new therapeutic avenues for various neuropsychiatric conditions. Silent synapse ...

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain.

The activity of these cells, nestled in a part of the brain called the anterior arcopallium, is tied to the sounds the birds make, the duo found. The organization of these neurons’ activity ...

Memory loss is one of the most prevalent symptoms of Alzheimer's, and synapse loss (decline in connection and function between brain cells) is also characteristic of the disease. The researchers ...

But soon after surgery to implant electrodes into specific areas of his brain in 2020, his life dramatically improved. “My tremor went away almost entirely,” says Krehbiel, now age 70 and a ...
