Drugs targeting amyloid plaques have failed to show efficacy in clinical trials. A new approach is needed to tackle AD ...

It is able to predict ephaptic coupling for any other synaptic geometry as illustrated by a few examples ... (B,C) when the AP is annihilating at a bouton of a neuron terminal (upper neuron in ...

Here, the authors' model - including AP annihilation at a synaptic terminal - is used to predict the amplitude ... that a propagating but not annihilating AP has almost no effect on a neighbouring ...

STF is caused by the influx of calcium into the synaptic terminal of the pre-synaptic neuron following spike generation, which increases the release probability of neurotransmitters. On the other hand ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

A breakthrough study sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of genes essential for learning and memory.

Scientists have pinpointed a brain circuit that, when activated, reduces anxiety without impairing memory. Using ...

Their findings, published in Neuron, suggest that the two systems interact in the hippocampus, with persistent WM activity predicting the formation of LTM. "Working memory (WM) and long-term ...
