Powerful chemical biological techniques have now been developed to decipher the dynamic stability of the synapses and to further interrogate the complex properties of neuronal circuits.

A team of researchers has identified a mechanism that regulates the production of two different proteins from the same gene.

The nervous system is a marvel of biological engineering, composed of intricate networks that control every aspect of an ...

Using machine learning, researchers have created extensive maps of the neuronal circuits associated with social and locomotion behaviors in the fruit fly. “This is an important paper and a really ...

A team of researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences, a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) of Elche, in collaboration with ...

This mechanism serves to prevent miswiring within neural circuits. We believe that our study can contribute to our current ...

Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system. These regions, including the cortex, basal ganglia, brainstem ...

Clustered protocadherin (cPcdh) molecules are candidates for the molecular codes that provide neuronal individuality and specific neural network formation. In this study, we investigate the molecular ...

Taste, like other senses, is mediated by finely tuned circuits of neurons. These circuits are formed during embryonic development, when many extra neuronal synapses that will not exist in the fully ...

The rate of development of poikilothermic animals, such as insects, fish, and reptiles, is determined by environmental temperature. A research team has recently demonstrated how temperature can affect ...

The ability of the brain to elaborate new connections and neuronal circuits—neuroplasticity—underlies all learning. Biology and psychology unite in the field of neuroscience, to tackle questio ...
