Researchers from Kyushu University discovered a previously unrecognized synaptic "hotspot" that forms during adolescence, ...

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...

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

The detailed mapping revealed an unexpected pattern. One specific section of the dendrite contained an unusually dense ...

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

Exosome-associated THSD7A is identified as a key trigger of filopodia formation in cancer cells and neurons, revealing a ...
