A theoretical review proposes that spinal perineuronal nets serve as an active molecular brake regulating postsynaptic ...

In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

Researchers identified an astrocyte signaling pathway that sustained neuronal activity and cerebral blood flow during ...

What happens in the brain when sensory stimulation continues over time—for example, while jogging, reading or listening to ...

A Nature Neuroscience study in mouse and cell models reports that losing the Parkinson's risk protein NgBR in microglia ...

Cholesterol, a fat-like substance in the body best known for its role in cardiovascular health, also plays a key role in how neurons—foundational cells for the brain's ability to process and integrate ...

Researchers at UT San Antonio have uncovered new details about electrical signals happening within nerve cells, deepening scientists' understanding of the brain. Their work appears in the study, ...

Neurons transmit information to the next cell by converting electrical signals into chemical signals. A critical step in this process is the influx of calcium ions into the cell through voltage-gated ...

Findings may offer insights into disorders associated with dysregulated forgetting, including dementia and PTSD.

As a neuromodulator, norepinephrine is a powerful force in the brain. We all know it orchestrates rapid changes in behavior such as the fight-or-flight response. Fewer people know that astrocytes ...
