Because synapses are responsible for passing information between neurons, these connections are vital for communication within and outside the brain. Therefore, understanding how they form, function, ...

Researchers have shown how RNA-binding proteins modulate synaptic responses that mediate the transmission of nerve cell impulses. Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich researchers have shown ...

Several neuropsychiatric disorders are characterized by too many or too few synapses in key brain circuits. Now, a new machine learning algorithm should help advance studies of these diseases by ...
