New research from Oregon Health & Science University for the first time reveals the function of a little-understood junction between cells in the brain that could have important treatment ...

As the mice age, the researchers will explore synapse function and the ability of two novel drug interventions to dispel cognitive impairments related to aging.

Jeffrey Stanley and Mark Paverman have been charged with mismanaging Synapse Brokerage accounts and failing to preserve ...

The Emerging Investigator Series by the journal Materials Horizons features outstanding work by young researchers in 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 ...

Synapses are the power junctions that allow living creatures to function. Popularly associated with learning and memory, they play a more fundamental role in our existence by regulating everything ...

New research for the first time reveals the function of a little-understood junction between cells in the brain that could have important treatment implications for conditions ranging from ...

Researchers suspect energy failures in brain “power plants” may explain why memory pathways collapse so early in Alzheimer’s.

HHMI researchers have constructed a new detailed map of the three-dimensional terrain of a synapse. By using the map to generate a dynamic computer simulation of the synapse, the researchers have ...

Curious about whether these components are involved in synapse degeneration, they tested whether amyloid beta, a key driver of synapse loss in Alzheimer's disease, affects the function or ...
