When elderly people stay active, their brains have more of a class of proteins that enhances the connections between neurons to maintain healthy cognition, a UC San Francisco study has found. This ...

For the first time, researchers identified the function of the CASKIN2 protein, which plays a key role in precise signal transmission between neurons and memory formation in the brain. This study is ...

Mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside all plant and animal cells, play a critical role in the health and well-being of synapses, neuroscientists at MIT's Picower Center for Learning and ...

A DGIST research team identified that the mutation of the collybistin protein found in autistic patients weakens the brain's inhibitory synaptic function and leads to communication deficiencies. The ...

Several neuropsychiatric disorders are characterized by too many or too few synapses in key brain circuits. Now, a new machine learning algorithm should help advance studies of these diseases by ...
