Scientists at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus have discovered a new kind of synapse in the tiny hairs on the surface of neurons. The commonly overlooked protrusions called primary cilia contain special ...

Here we go again because science fiction hasn’t taught us anything about robots eventually taking over humanity. In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers have reported a ...

The death of synapses, and the neurons that need them, marks the inevitable endgame of Alzheimer’s disease. Despite this eventual synaptic mayhem, a new work, led by Thomas Südhof and Marius Wernig at ...

Neurons stochastically generated up to eight different versions of a protein regulating neurotransmitter release, which could vary how they communicate with other cells. Neurons are talkers. They each ...

A study analyzing over 15,000 individual synapses in macaques and mice found that primate neurons have two to five times fewer synapses in the visual cortex compared to mice -- and the difference may ...

The dentate gyrus is one of only two areas in the brain where new neurons are formed continuously in adults through a process called neurogenesis. When a new granule cell neuron is formed in the ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have reported a nano-sized neuromorphic memory device that emulates neurons and synapses simultaneously in a unit cell, another step toward completing the goal of ...
