New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

Researchers have identified the mitochondrial calcium uniporter as a critical protein in the strengthening of synaptic ...

Pyramidal neurons have basal and apical dendrites, including an apical tuft. This preserved core structure suggests that they have conserved core functions, whereas structural variation in other ...

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

Knowing that dendrite structure changes correlate with ... The findings broaden our understanding of glial functions, with potential implications extending far beyond nematodes.

Researchers at FORTH have developed a new type of artificial neural network (ANN) that incorporates features of biological ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers from the ...
