Experiments conducted on squid brains in the early days of neuroscience created misunderstandings about the workings of the human brain that have persisted for 70 years, according to a new study.

New research has settled the debate between ‘kiss-and-run’ and ‘full-collapse’ fusion to explain how neurons transmit signals across synapses. Scientists from the University of Science and Technology ...

A team of researchers shows how proteins called 'chaperones' are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When this neurotransmission breaks down, devastating diseases such ...

The chaperone Hsc70 (green) helps keep SNAP-25 in the proper shape so that it can help form the SNARE complex, enabling neurotransmission. AMHERST, Mass. – A team of researchers from the University of ...

There’s still a lot we don’t know about the brain, but so far experts have agreed that our thoughts, feelings and behavior ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst is the first to show how proteins called "chaperones" are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When ...

Computing that processes information in parallel by mimicking the structure of the human brain is being explored. American researchers succeeded in generating compounds incorporating mechanisms that ...
