Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication ...

Researchers have come up with a clever new way of freezing brain cells just as they fire out a signal, meaning processes that ...

Neurons can rapidly rebalance their communication using a structural signal rather than electrical activity, overturning long-held assumptions about how synapses maintain stability.

A new finding from researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center shows that the learning process of associating cues with rewards ...

The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals, while the latter support and protect ...
