The brain’s immune cells gobble up synapses in the hippocampi of rodents fed high-fat or high-sugar diets.

The device could one day help enable prosthetics deliver richer touch information to users.

The flow of calcium and potassium ions keeps muscles contracting in the diaphragms of neonatal mice, but if a key protein receptor is missing, fatigue sets in more quickly.

A new study reveals more about the role of specialized Schwann cells at junctions between neurons and muscle cells.

In mice and flies, the Arc protein forms capsids and carries genetic information.

Mice lacking the RNA had deregulated microRNAs in the brain, disrupted synaptic communication, and behavioral abnormalities associated with neuropsychiatric disorders.

Scientists block particular enzymes to remove the cellular signatures associated with specific memory types.  

Results from experiments in mice revise a long-held hypothesis that certain protein scaffolds are needed for synaptic activity.

In the 1990s, the development of this gentler and more precise microscopy method improved scientists’ ability to probe neurons’ activity and anatomy.
