Novel tools that allow neuron-specific investigations of the structure controlling sleep regulation in fruit flies reveal the extent of neuronal heterogeneity.

The finely tuned protein targeting by palmitoylation aids neuronal development and synaptic plasticity. However, the molecular mechanisms of protein palmitoylation have long been elusive.

Individuals with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's disease show altered blood levels indicating damaged neuronal ...

A recent research study has successfully merged two cutting-edge 3D tissue engineering strategies - 3D polymeric scaffolds ...

Individuals with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's disease show altered blood levels indicating damaged neuronal contacts as early as 11 years before the expected onset of dementia symptoms.

But the extent to which neuronal wiring drives shared function between these different regions is not well understood. Is this structure-function relationship the same throughout the brain?

During the recording, they were asked to remember and then recognize the sequence of images shown to them on a screen Contrary to previous assumptions, the precise sequence of neuronal responses ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

Neuroscientists from the Csicsvari group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) provided new insight into this essential function by monitoring neuronal activity in rat brains ...

Recent studies have shown that chronic stress in neuronal mitochondria can have far-reaching effects, not only damaging the neurons themselves but also influencing other tissues and systemic ...

Research highlights the potential for modifying the chemical structures of psychedelics to produce analogues with improved ...
