Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication ...

Scientists in Japan say they have reversed the signs of Alzheimer’s disease in lab mice by restoring the healthy function of synapses, critical parts of neurons that shoot chemical messages to other ...

Neurons can rapidly rebalance their communication using a structural signal rather than electrical activity, overturning long-held assumptions about how synapses maintain stability.

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals).
