Using in vivo imaging in zebrafish, we unveiled critical components (PSD-95, gephyrin and neuroligin-3) and dynamic properties of synapses between neurons and oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPC).

Synapses are composed of thousands of proteins, providing the potential for extensive molecular diversity to shape synapse type-specific functional specializations. In this Review, we explore the ...

New research from Oregon Health & Science University for the first time reveals the function of a little-understood junction between cells in the brain that could have important treatment implications ...

Whether picking up a small object like a pen or coordinating different body parts, the cerebellum in the brain performs essential functions for controlling our movement. Researchers at the Institute ...

Researchers discover that the GPR3 receptor acts as an immediate-early gene to jumpstart neuron and synapse development.

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

(a) Schematic diagram of a biological neural network and (b) circuit schematic of an artificial neural network implemented in hardware using an artificial neuromorphic device. (c) Experimental results ...

Neurodegenerative diseases rank among the most profound tragedies of the human condition, capable in various forms of robbing the afflicted of a lifetime of memories, basic comprehension, sense of ...

By mimicking how the brain operates, neuromorphic computing can use dramatically less energy than conventional electronic AI ...
