By influencing calcium homeostasis, local protein synthesis and the endoplasmic reticulum, a small protein called Rab10 emerges as a crucial cytoplasmic regulator of neuropeptide secretion.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have demonstrated that a single, standard silicon transistor, the ...

Serafini and colleagues provide evidence that neuroligin acts as a trans-neuronal signal to induce presynaptic differentiation at neuron–neuron connections in vitro. To form a synaptic ...

To make their model more realistic, they measured SIE in the presence of a high level of background synaptic activity, and used increasingly complex models of the postsynaptic neuron. Finally ...

Neuro-synaptic RAM; 3D photonic-electronic data link; complex memory management.

New structural markers of memory storage uncovered by Scripps Research may pave the way for new treatments for memory loss.
