Unmasking the hyper-active circuitry of early Alzheimer’s
Neuroscientists at King’s College London have pinpointed a mechanism behind the increased neural connectivity observed in the very early stages of Alzheimer’s…
Aging brains struggle to recycle synaptic proteins
As we age, we begin to lose the connections that wire up our brains-and neuroscientists aren’t sure why. …
Engineered sensor reveals the brain’s hidden chemical conversations
Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to…
Researchers use “zap-and-freeze” technique to watch hard-to-see brain cell communications
Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have used a “zap-and-freeze” technology to watch hard-to-see brain cell communications…
Boosting PI31 to restore synaptic function and prevent neurodegeneration
One fundamental feature of neurodegenerative diseases is a breakdown in communication. Even before brain cells die, the delicate…
