Synaptic plasticity—the brain's ability to modify the connections between neurons to support learning—is one of the neural ...

Researchers from the lab led by Prof. Joris De Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) have discovered an important clue to how connections between brain cells, known as synapses, mature. These new findings, published in ...

Synaptic plasticity — the brain's ability to modify the connections between neurons to support learning — is one of the neural functions profoundly altered in Huntington's disease, with a direct ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals an unexpected role for immature glial ...

“The results from this study support the beneficial effects of the D-serine pathway involvement in NMDAR-mediated transmission and cognitive function [...]” “We hypothesized that augmenting SR ...

Scientific evidence shows how the cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is caused by the buildup of amyloid beta proteins, which promote synaptic malfunction. One of the neuropathological ...

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University reported yesterday in Nature Neuroscience that they have identified two sets of genes whose decreased expression patterns in key areas of the brain appear to ...
