A newly discovered brain peptide, AETA, may hold the key to detecting Alzheimer’s long before memory loss becomes visible.
Scientists found a brain circuit that strengthens with exercise, helping explain why workouts feel easier over time.
Researchers built a photonic synapse that strengthens or erases memory by light color, using a defect to mimic the brain's balanced learning.
Harvard doctoral student Shae O. Omonijo challenges extreme AI narratives, focusing instead on its impact on human cognition.
Researchers discover that the GPR3 receptor acts as an immediate-early gene to jumpstart neuron and synapse development.
An early burst of GPR3 activity helps convert short-term cellular signals into long-term programs that support neuron growth, ...
Living cells constantly exchange ions (i.e., charged particles) via the thin barrier that surrounds their interior, known as ...
Cells have surface receptors that couple to proteins and other molecules to initiate or inhibit certain behaviors.
A study in zebrafish shows that neuronal microexons regulate brain activity by modulating cAMP signaling. Loss of these ...
Our lovable yet unruly boxer Dusty forced me to wonder: if a dog has no morals, how do you teach it to be ‘good’?
Cells have surface receptors that couple with proteins and other molecules to initiate or inhibit certain behaviors. Typically, the number of these receptors increases as the cell matures, but ...
Kevin Guttenplan, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), says astrocytes are like the “dark ...
