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

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

By contrast, glial cells seemed to be electrically silent and were dismissed as dull by most researchers. Some glia, called ...

That forgotten name, misplaced keys, or missed appointment could mean more than just an embarrassing moment. Medical experts warn these innocent-looking memory slips might reveal serious brain damage ...

New research reveals that even a small loss of myelin—the protective coating around neurons—can severely disrupt how the brain sends and interprets sensory information.

For the first time, researchers identified the function of the CASKIN2 protein, which plays a key role in precise signal transmission between neurons and memory formation in the brain. This study is ...

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have transformed our ability to decode complex ...

Your eyes might be the window to your future brain health, and what researchers are discovering could change how we detect Alzheimer’s disease forever. Long before memory problems become noticeable, ...

Excessive screen time in childhood is associated with changes in the brain, particularly in regions involved in attention and ...

COVID-19 does not just affect the respiratory system, but also significantly alters the brain in people who have fully recovered from the infectious disease, highlighting the long-term neurological ...
