How do neurons manage to become self-organized, accurately balancing protein removal from synapses and trafficking into synapses on demand, when the spine volume is dynamically modulated?

Here are five brain facts that are now brain fiction.

Recent research reveals that “nerve glue” plays significant roles in psychiatric conditions such as depression and ...

These networks of artificial neurons and synapses form the basis of artificial intelligence. They can be emulated in two ways: either through computer simulations or using electronic components ...

Serafini and colleagues provide evidence that neuroligin acts as a trans-neuronal signal to induce presynaptic differentiation at neuron–neuron connections in vitro. To form a synaptic ...

In research published in Cell Reports, Harnett and his team show how individual neurons can contribute to both parts of this ...

They have released the first ever complete diagram of an entire fruit fly brain. Sure, fruit flies are very small, and their ...

Memories are created in a matter of seconds. Researchers now may have begun to uncover how behavioral timescale learning ...

The tagging system lit up all astrocytes that expressed the c-Fos gene in response to fear conditioning. Williamson’s team ...
