Every thought, memory, and feeling we experience depends on trillions of tiny connection points in the brain called synapses. These are the junctions where one neuron passes signals to another, ...

Researchers discover that the protein Adgrl2 uses alternative splicing to switch between building brain synapses and sealing ...

Replicating the brain's capabilities, an impossible task, may theoretically require thousands of H100, one of NVIDIA's most ...

In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...

Adolescence is widely thought to be a time when the brain trims away excess neural connections, refining circuits through synaptic pruning. New research now suggests this view may be incomplete.

Striking electron microscope pictures from inside the brains of mice suggest what happens in our own brain every day: Our synapses - the junctions between nerve cells - grow strong and large during ...

Co-written with Jai Liester. Silent synapses represent one of neuroscience's most fascinating discoveries—connections between neurons that lie dormant until activated by specific triggers. These ...

Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), including irritable bowel syndrome, functional dyspepsia, and chronic visceral pain syndromes, affect a ...
