Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

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

Imagine watching a conversation between brain cells, seeing chemical messages pass from one neuron to another. Scientists can ...

From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop ...

What if we could peer into the brain and watch how it organizes information as we act, perceive, or make decisions? A new study has introduced a method that does exactly this—not just by looking at ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

Implantable bioelectronics are vital to neuroscience, neurological therapies, and brain-machine interfaces. They serve as indispensable interfaces that enable the communication between biological ...

Neurons can rapidly rebalance their communication using a structural signal rather than electrical activity, overturning long-held assumptions about how synapses maintain stability.

Peer reviewers hail study offering framework to decode disorders like autism and schizophrenia, where neural communication breaks down "If you wish to prosper, build roads first," ran a popular slogan ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report the successful creation of artificial synaptic vesicles that can be remotely controlled by near-infrared (NIR) ...
