Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, have studied the impact of two brain areas on the nature of memory content.

The fragments also directly compromise synapses they encounter along the way, according to a preprint posted February 24 on bioRxiv. Specifically, tau fragments containing the microtubule binding ...

This fundamental study reports the effects of the psychedelic drug psilocin on iPSC-derived human cortical neurons, analyzing different aspects of structural and functional neuronal plasticity. The ...

However, the intricate mechanisms governing these processes have remained elusive due to the presence of multiple functional domains within Munc13, each playing distinct roles in neurotransmitter ...

Neuroscience research has only recently begun to prioritize the inclusion of both male and female lab animals in studies.

The Nucleus Basalis, Brain Stabilization and Homeostasis This action (where the nucleus basalis is turned off), which means that less synaptic plasticity is ... Brain-derived neurotrophic factor ...

In recent years, nootropics and adaptogens have gained a lot of attention in the wellness space thanks to their ability to ...

Activity-dependent synaptic ... of plasticity (Sjöström et al., 2008). Classically, strong Ca 2+ elevations trigger LTP, whereas smaller and more prolonged Ca 2+ transients elicit LTD (Lisman, 1989; ...

Altered synaptic function has been associated with neurological ... We recently showed that p140Cap knockout mice have cognitive deficits, impaired long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term ...
