Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D images of the synapse, the important juncture where neurons communicate with each other through an exchange of chemical signals. These nanometer ...

An abstract image representing shared mechanisms. Two silhouettes are featured back-to-back with joint cog wheels in bright colors across their heads, representing the shared synaptic mechanism. A ...

This original animation illustrates that presynaptic neurons secrete VLK, which then phosphorylates the extracellular side of ephrin type-B receptor 2 (EphB2) extruding from the membranes of ...

Synaptic pruning is a crucial neurodevelopmental process through which the brain refines its neural circuitry by systematically eliminating excess or weak synaptic connections. During early childhood ...

Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas' Center for Advanced Pain Studies (CAPS) and their colleagues have made a fundamental discovery about a key mechanism that enables nervous system ...
