Zap-and-freeze” high-resolution imaging visualizes synapses in action and may lead to a better understanding of conditions like sporadic Parkinson’s disease.

A team of physicists from Utrecht University in the Netherlands and Sogang University in South Korea have built an artificial synapse, the biological foundation of the human brain's ability to think ...

A large study of brain scans shows that our neural wiring evolves through five major stages from birth to late old age. These ...

The microscopic image shows a nerve cell and a magnified view of the investigated synapses. Calcium was released at these sites using a UV flash, which triggered the release of the neurotransmitter.

The innovative organic materials proposed by Dr. Eunho Lee and his team bring us closer to brain-like computer processors In the Materials Horizons Emerging Investigator Series, Dr. Eunho Lee from ...

The human brain has four distinct turning points where its structure changes, according to a study published in the journal ...

Four major turning points around ages nine, 32, 66 and 83 create five broad eras of neural wiring over the average human ...

Two teams discover how small cell lung cancer hijacks neural pathways to proliferate faster, especially to the brain. Common neuro drugs could be the answer.

During the early thirties, the brain’s wiring pattern moves into what the researchers describe as the adult mode. This adult ...

The last turning point comes around age 83. The data for this final era is more limited, but the defining feature is a shift ...

The body's control organ undergoes four major transitions during a lifetime, with 'adolescence' lasting more than two decades ...
