Researchers have demonstrated an artificial organic neuron, a nerve cell, that can be integrated with a living plant and an artificial organic synapse. Both the neuron and the synapse are made from ...

New research for the first time reveals the function of a little-understood junction between cells in the brain that could have important treatment implications for conditions ranging from multiple ...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Transduction is the changing of one form of energy into another, such as a spoken voice changed into radio waves by a cellphone. Ten years ago, three research teams published a ...

The microscopic image shows a nerve cell and a magnified view of the investigated synapses. Calcium was released at these sites using a UV flash, which triggered the release of the neurotransmitter.

Scientists have uncovered how a protein helps build and maintain vital brain connections, providing insights into the neurological problems experienced by people with a rare form of muscular dystrophy ...

Synapse XT improves a person’s network of synapses, which bridge the nerve cells to each other. You can experience less brain fatigue and tinnitus relief. This supplement can also strengthen memory.

In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...

Catering to the do-it-yourself crowd, a few companies sell the lumber, doors, windows, and everything else needed to build a home. They’ll even deliver the home-building kit to a person’s future ...

Nerve cells communicate with one another via synapses. Neuroscientists at the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich have now found that these connections seem to be much more powerful than previously ...

Learning lots of new information as a baby requires a pool of ready-to-go, immature connections between nerve cells to form memories quickly. Called silent synapses, these connections are inactive ...
