Neurodegenerative diseases affect tens of millions of people worldwide. Among these, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases are ...

Living cells constantly exchange ions (i.e., charged particles) via the thin barrier that surrounds their interior, known as ...

By applying machine-learning models to single-cell brain recordings taken from humans in conversation, a research team ...

All brain functions in animals rely upon neuronal connectivity that is established during early development. Although the activity-dependent mechanisms are deemed important for brain development and ...

Researchers discover that disrupted neuronal microexons cause a permanent spike in cAMP signaling, driving severe hyperarousal, insomnia, and hyperactivity.

The altered presence of tiny fragments of neuronal genes, called microexons, causes hyperarousal in zebrafish. This is the ...

Glycogen metabolism in a subpopulation of hypothalamic neurons is required for their rapid activation by sensory-driven food cues, feeding initiation and metabolic adaptations. Disrupting neuronal ...

Scientists discover karyoptosis, a new cell death mechanism causing nuclear disintegration in Alzheimer's and frontotemporal ...

Researchers at Kanazawa University have identified a previously unrecognized mechanism by which structural changes in the ...

Cells have surface receptors that couple to proteins and other molecules to initiate or inhibit certain behaviors.
