How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...

They are connected by synapses, which transmit electrical signals from one neuron to another. Lynn applied his model to study the brains of mice and the worm C. elegans. He found that 90% of neuronal ...

Researchers at LMU have developed a human cell model that replicates key mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases—with potential for novel therapies. The paper is published in the journal Science ...

Have you ever wondered how a fly manages to dodge you in a split second? Scientists have long been fascinated by the lightning-fast reflexes that help flies escape danger almost instantly. But despite ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? It all depends on transmission of chemical signals in the brain, carried and released by molecular containers called vesicles. In a new study, researchers ...

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.
