Researchers discovered that electrical synapses filter sensory signals in animals, enabling context-specific ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

New research reveals how electrical synapses filter sensory input, helping animals choose actions based on context.

A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their ...

Storytelling is part of being human. In this nonfiction book, we learn why and how such narratives can also be a trap ...

The Amyloid—Tangle Connection. Aβ aggregates (green) hyper-excite neurons in tau epicenters and connected regions, strengthening that connectivity. This pushes tau propagation from one region to ...

To understand how these brain cells exchange information through their synapses (junctions to exchange chemical 'messages'), the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain and ...

Scientists have shown that specialized cells involved in how the body responds to insulin are activated in the brain after exercise, suggesting that physical activity may directly improve brain ...

Discover how neuromorphic AI chips are transforming artificial intelligence by mimicking human brain functions, enhancing ...
