(July 29, 2009) - Recycling is a critical component in the process of transmitting information from one neuron to the next, and a large protein called Tweek plays a critical role, said an ...

Polyinnervation takes place during the first phases of development, creating a great number of synapses. Then, neuronal circuits require the elimination of the excess synaptic contacts established in ...

Researchers have identified a brain receptor that appears to initiate adolescent synaptic pruning, a process believed necessary for learning, but one that appears to go awry in both autism and ...

Synaptic vesicle exocytosis is the biological process by which a synaptic vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane of the pre-synaptic axon terminal and releases its contents into the synaptic cleft.

Synaptic Institute Inc., a Portland-based group that trains facilitators for psychedelic experiences, says it scrapped plans to open its own psilocybin service center because the process is too ...

Recently, addressing the inherent timescale mismatch challenge between fast and slow responses in optoelectronic sensors, a collaborative team from Suzhou Institute of Nano-Tech and Nano-Bionics ...

A new study on the detriments of too many synaptic connections in the mouse cerebellum by neuroscientists at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis corroborates previous human ...

Brooklyn, NY - Research led by SUNY Downstate Medical Center has identified a brain receptor that appears to initiate adolescent synaptic pruning, a process believed necessary for learning, but one ...
