While probing the escape reflex in the fruit fly Drosophila, researchers at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz (JGU) and the ...

Alzheimer’s may destroy memory by flipping a single molecular switch that tells neurons to prune their own connections. Researchers found that both amyloid beta and inflammation converge on the same ...

A holistic inquiry into how toxic tau impacts synapses provides a new take on the processes that lead to neuronal dysfunction ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by ...

Plastic and thus modifiable neurons lose their function at old age, new research in fruit flies reveals.

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

CURE SYNGAP1, a 501(c)(3) organization, is proud to announce the award of a $25,000 grant to Dr. Àlex Bayés Puig, Group ...

As we age, we begin to lose the connections that wire up our brains-and neuroscientists aren't sure why.

As we age, we begin to lose the connections that wire up our brains-and neuroscientists aren't sure why. It is increasingly clear, though, that the loss of synapses-the flexible and adaptive relay ...
