Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have demonstrated that a single, standard silicon transistor, the ...

2). However, agrin itself is not necessary for the formation of neuron–neuron synapses. This has led to an intensive search for trans-neuronal inducers. Among the candidates are cadherins ...

The team led by Associate Professor Mario Lanza from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the College of ...

Silent synapses are dormant neural connections that hold untapped brain potential. Discover how ketamine, exercise, and other ...

When a B cell encounters membrane-bound antigen, signalling through the B-cell receptor (BCR) induces cytoskeletal reorganization and morphological changes that lead to the formation of an ...

There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again. For example, noradrenaline.

Synapses are the connection points where neurons establish contact with each other to transmit information. For this ...

We specifically focus on the role of microglia and astrocytes in reorganization of synapses and neural circuits. We aim to reveal the underlying mechanisms by which the brain adapts to its environment ...

Boost Neuroscience is a “stealth” biotech company that has developed a proprietary synapse network platform based on the work of Nobel Laureate Dr. Thomas Südhof, M.D. Boost was spun out of ...
