The Amyloid—Tangle Connection. Aβ aggregates (green) hyper-excite neurons in tau epicenters and connected regions, strengthening that connectivity. This pushes tau propagation from one region to ...

A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their ...

Surgical repair of a cleft lip and palate have medical benefits beyond the cosmetic. Repairing a cleft lip and palate will provide your infant with improved ability to nurse or drink from a bottle ...

inhibitory synapse specificity of Nlgn1 and Nlgn2 are both determined by their extracellular sequences, these neuroligins enable normal synaptic connections via distinct intracellular mechanisms.

This month's cover highlights the article A novel bacterial effector protein mediates ER-LD membrane contacts to regulate host lipid droplets by Stacey D. Gilk, Rajendra Angara and Arif Sadi. The ...

This valuable study combines experiments and modelling to advance our understanding of the nonlinear nature of homeostatic structural plasticity and its interaction with synaptic scaling. The ...

(c) Change in weight of one synapse (green) following the stimulation of itself (green bolt) and of two nearby synapses (purple bolts). Left: Schematic of the developing dendrite from b with bolts ...

Synaptic vesicle docking and fusion are mediated by the assembly of a stable SNARE core complex of proteins, which include the synaptic vesicle membrane protein VAMP/synaptobrevin and the ...

The fields of cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology study the relationship between brain and behavior. A common theme in the research group Integrative Cognitive Neuroscience Lab (ICON Lab) is to ...
