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 ...

MIT neuroscientists have discovered that the adult brain contains millions of “silent synapses” — immature connections between neurons that remain inactive until they’re recruited to help form new ...

Johns Hopkins scientists have developed a method involving artificial intelligence to visualize and track changes in the strength of synapses—the connection points through which nerve cells in the ...

Instant synapse visualization with our fluorescence probe. A diagram showing that the fluorescent probe can visualize AMPA receptors on synapses by sprinkling. There are few scientific methods more ...

Co-written with Jai Liester. Silent synapses represent one of neuroscience's most fascinating discoveries—connections between neurons that lie dormant until activated by specific triggers. These ...

Researchers are uncovering how disrupted glutamatergic synapses drive diverse forms of intellectual disability, revealing new ...

A research team led by Dr. Àlex Bayés, Head of the Molecular Physiology of the Synapse Group at the Institut de Recerca Sant Pau (IR Sant Pau), has achieved what for decades had been an elusive goal: ...

The hippocampus is one of the most fascinating brain regions. Associated with the formation of memories, it also helps us to navigate through the world without getting lost. Sensory cortices on the ...

A research team has identified a molecular mechanism that coordinates the operation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor, which is key to regulating excitatory synapse function in the ...

Scientists have discovered millions of so-called silent synapses in the adult brain, immature links between neurons that are dormant until they are needed for the formation of new memories. It had ...
