When we learn a new motor skill—whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking—the brain must reorganize the circuits that control movement. For decades, this process of synaptic ...

Behavioral assays linked these molecular disturbances to functional outcomes. Exposed fish displayed increased locomotor ...

Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells alive and functioning. When cells experience stress—such as lack of nutrients ...

When most of us picture the brain, we imagine billions of nerve cells flashing with electrical activity, carrying thoughts, memories and commands from one region to another. Those cells, called ...

Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) has entered into an agreement to deploy Synaptic Aviation's AI-powered ramp visibility platform at all passenger gates across the airport. The airport-wide ...

NeuroStar TMS is a noninvasive, outpatient treatment that revitalizes the dormant synapses in the brain that are underactive and affect mood. The treatment delivers magnetic impulses to this area ...

The Wiley Foundation honored research into connectomes — detailed atlases of the brain that map out thousands of neurons and the millions of connection between them.

A biomimetic synapse built from water droplets and biological ion channels achieves synaptic plasticity and performs machine learning tasks.

Age can make memory feel like something that only moves in one direction. A name slips away. A route you know well turns ...

New research suggests that compulsive behavior may be less about willpower failure and more about inflammation quietly disrupting the brain’s reward and habit circuits. While the idea of “hidden brain ...

A study published in Molecular Psychiatry reveals a path of cause-effect molecular events that can lead to Alzheimer’s ...

Researchers find that a common glaucoma drug, acetazolamide, can reverse brain changes and prevent relapse in opioid use disorder.
