Researchers from the lab led by Prof. Joris De Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) have discovered an important clue to how connections between brain cells, known as synapses, mature. These new findings, published in ...
Researchers at VIB-KU Leuven shed light on an unusual signaling pathway that orchestrates synaptic structure and function during brain development. Leuven, 20 May 2025 - Researchers from the lab led ...
Nervous system functions, from motion to perception to cognition, depend on the active zones of neural circuit connections ...

Cerebral cortex synapses transmit signals more reliably than those in rear brain regions
The underlying mechanism is well known: put simply, synaptic signal transmission is triggered when calcium ions in the sender neuron bind to specific sensor proteins, which causes messengers—known as ...
Loss of RTN4RL2 disrupts synapse formation and function between inner hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons, leading to elevated auditory thresholds and highlighting its critical role in hearing.
Three winners of the Nobel Prize in medicine were announced in Stockholm, Sweden on Oct. 9. Prize winners Arvid Carlsson, ...
A) Taste tissue of wild-type mice and taste cell synaptic dysfunction mice (SNAP-cKO). In SNAP-cKO mice, the number of sour-sensing cells is reduced. B) Gustatory nerve responses to various taste ...
What are the three modes of neurotransmission, and how do they differ in terms of temporal coupling with action potentials? There are three modes of neurotransmission: stimulation-dependent release ...
