Synaptic adhesion molecules like PTPδ are critical for synapse formation and function. Here authors show PTPδ with mini-exon B regulates excitatory synapses in cell-type-specific and IL1RAP ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

New research shows that low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can restore key synaptic structures ...

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

A biphasic structural plasticity rule interacts with homeostatic synaptic scaling to maintain firing rate homeostasis in neural networks.

The brain age gap (BAG) plays a role in mediating the influence of cognitive impairment risk factors on cognitive function, especially among individuals with high cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) burden ...

Scientists have uncovered how a protein helps build and maintain vital brain connections, providing insights into the ...

Scientists have long known that the brain's visual system isn't fully hardwired from the start—it becomes refined by what ...

The Synaptic Physiology laboratory, led by Juan Lerma at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Miguel Hernández University (UMH) of ...

Consciousness gives rise to a sense of self and personal agency. The question is, how do biological processes give rise to ...

Following synaptic vesicle exocytosis, synaptotagmin 1 recruits a lipid signalling pathway within the presynaptic plasma membrane that drives local dynamin recruitment and membrane retrieval by ...
