Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

This study presents SynaptoGen, a differentiable extension of connectome models that links gene expression, protein-protein interaction probabilities, synaptic multiplicity, and synaptic weights, and ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication ...

Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...

For more than a century, brain imaging has been a story of trade-offs: sharp pictures but slow timing, or fast signals with ...

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 ...

A researcher has developed a new model that provides a holistic view on how our brain manages to learn quickly and forms stable, long-lasting memories. Their study sheds light on the crucial role of ...

Psychedelics stimulate the growth of synapses outside the brain, scientists show for the first time. Many psychedelics act by binding to serotonin receptor 2. Manor and his team found that these ...

Electron microscope image of neurons in the cerebellum. This slice through the cells in the cerebellum shows a dendritic branch of a Purkinje cell and its side arms (yellow) receiving several ...
