Loss and dysfunction of synapses have been linked to age-related cognitive decline and observed in Alzheimer's and other ...

Nearly every type of cell in the human body carries a little antenna-like structure called a cilium, which can serve various functions; they can sense things about their environment or receive signals ...

The death of synapses, and the neurons that need them, marks the inevitable endgame of Alzheimer’s disease. Despite this eventual synaptic mayhem, a new work, led by Thomas Südhof and Marius Wernig at ...

The dentate gyrus is one of only two areas in the brain where new neurons are formed continuously in adults through a process called neurogenesis. When a new granule cell neuron is formed in the ...

Researchers have uncovered a synapse on neurons’ tiny hair-like structures, which may facilitate long-term changes to genomic information in the nucleus. A new study from the Howard Hughes Medical ...

SHANNON, CLARE, IRELAND, February 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A new publication from Opto-Electronic Technology; DOI ...

When we learn a new motor skill—whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking—the brain must reorganize ...

Neuroscientists 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 memories.

Scientists used a compact AI model to predict how visual cortex neurons respond to images, revealing hidden patterns in perception.
