Researchers from Inserm and the University of Bordeaux, in collaboration with the University of Moncton, have developed an ...

Scientists have uncovered how a newly discovered gene, NEK1, in which mutations have been linked to ALS cases, disrupts the function of the motor neuron and causes it to degenerate and die.

Elaborating simple models of pyramidal-neuron function based on these dendritic-domain-specific properties is a central challenge for the study of cortical function.

A research team has found the three-dimensional structure of synaptic adhesion molecules, which orchestrate synaptogenesis. The research findings also propose the mechanism of synapses in its ...

A team of scientists at the University of California, Davis, is exploring how hallucinogenic drugs impact the structure and function of neurons — research that could lead to new treatments for ...

The study used data from laboratory mice to establish a new method for examining relationships between neuron type and function, and focused on the mouse primary visual cortex, which receives and ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see – but it’s been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers at ...
