New research from Colorado State University into the ways neurons regulate chemical balance in the brain could provide valuable insights toward developing therapies for disorders such as epilepsy.

Late-life depression is a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, in particular because it accelerates progression from mild cognitive impairment to dementia. How this happens remains largely ...

Scientists from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and the University of Edinburgh have discovered that a little-understood junction that connects neurons to oligodendrocyte precursor cells ...

Whether picking up a small object like a pen or coordinating different body parts, the cerebellum in the brain performs essential functions for controlling our movement. Researchers investigated how a ...

Family with sequence similarity 19 member A5 (FAM19A5) is a secretory protein highly expressed in the brain that regulates synapse dynamics through its interaction with leucine-rich repeat-containing ...

Clinical portfolio, informed by deep and novel synapse biology and pharmacology insights, aims to strengthen neural connections through event-driven pharmacology Lead candidate zelquistinel is ...

Establishment of neural circuits is a tightly regulated process coordinated by a series of cellular and molecular mechanisms. Within the neural circuitry electrical and chemical information is ...

An integrated spiking artificial neuron, with rich neuron functionality, single-transistor footprints, and low energy consumption for neuromorphic computing systems, can be created by stacking one ...
