Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

Synaptic transmission is the biological process by which a neuron communicates with a target cell across a synapse. Chemical synaptic transmission involves the release of a neurotransmitter from ...

New research shows that low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can restore key synaptic structures in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

Scientists have long known that the brain's visual system isn't fully hardwired from the start—it becomes refined by what ...

Young and his team first confirmed that the proteins play several key roles in ensuring that synaptic vesicles which contain ...

Synaptic development is the biological process by which a synapse between two neurons forms. The membranes of the two neurons become closely apposed and this is accompanied by presynaptic ...
