The study explores molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity - the strengthening or weakening of neuronal connections that enable learning and memory.

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

Discover how neural stem cells activate in the adult human brain, unlocking potential for regeneration, repair, and new ...

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.
