A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled.
Researchers have settled a 60-year-old debate in neuroscience, proving that the visual cortex constructs complex images from ...
In the cerebral cortex, numerous neurons exchange information through junctions known as synapses. The strength of each synaptic connection changes depending on the activity levels of the neurons ...
Synaptic transmission is an energy hog. It requires neurons to tap ATP reserves to respond to incoming signals. How do they pull this off, thousands to millions of times per day? A new study ...
A collaborative French–Swiss study reveals a previously unknown role for astrocytes in the brain's information processing. Published in the journal Cell, the research shows that these glial cells are ...
How does mild hypoxia affect preterm babies? New research identifies a molecular mechanism that disrupts hippocampal ...
New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...
Some scientists believe that toxic tau fibrils hop between synapses to spread throughout the brain, prompted by Aβ aggregates and overactive neurons. New imaging and biomarker data add weight to this ...
