synapse formation

By combining deep learning and electron microscopy, researchers now have a more detailed understanding of how fear changes the brain.

The hormone, which is well known for regulating appetite, appears to influence neuronal development—a finding that could shed light on disorders such as autism that involve dysfunctional synapse formation.

After implantation, the tissue developed blood vessels and became integrated into neuronal networks in the animals’ brains.

Synthetic base pairs replicated in vivo; cardiac stem cells questioned; miniature neurotransmissions and synaptic development; neurogenesis and memory loss; STAP saga continues

Once considered neurotransmission-related noise, scientists now show that the spontaneous release of presynaptic vesicles is imperative for the maturation of Drosophila synapses.

Two studies provide insight into the genetics of the disorder and show again how complex it is.

Neuroscientist and pediatric neurologist Peter Huttenlocher, who discovered that synapse growth peaks in early childhood, has passed away at age 82.

A paper describing a new method for imaging synapse formation has been retracted after it emerged that the first author falsified data to prove its effectiveness.

Large RNA-protein packets use a novel mechanism to escape the cell nucleus.

Through a series of sustained collaborations, Joshua Sanes has deciphered the molecular synergy that guides synapse formation.
