Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals).

Researchers have developed a new way to decipher the language of the brain by listening to and recording the fastest and ...

Scientists developed two new sensors that can detect brain cell communication in real time, tracking chemical messages ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to ...

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body.

A team of Berlin-based researchers led by Jana Kroll and Christian Rosenmund has captured the fleeting moment a nerve cell releases its ...

Researchers have come up with a clever new way of freezing brain cells just as they fire out a signal, meaning processes that normally happen too quickly to observe can be studied in detail – and ...

New research shows that neurons can stabilize their signaling using a fast, physical mechanism — not the electrical activity ...

Scientists found that messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules that carry genetic instructions to the far reaches of neurons in the brain tend to cluster together mostly because they are abundant, not because ...

A research team led by Dr. Àlex Bayés, Head of the Molecular Physiology of the Synapse Group at the Institut de Recerca Sant Pau (IR Sant Pau), has achieved what for decades had been an elusive goal: ...
