Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

Experimental electron micrograph of purified synaptic vesicles (upper). Synaptic vesicles automatically identified in the image with a new computer program are highlighted with different colours and ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...

Image showing human neurons derived from stem cells by Assistant Professor Soham Chanda and his team at Colorado State University. Newly published research from Colorado State University answers ...

Neurons are famously fragile, yet some injured cells manage to hang on, stabilize, and even reconnect. That quiet resilience ...

Scientists say their new insights into how a key brain protein works could help resolve a long-standing question in molecular ...

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

Binge drinking in early adult years fundamentally changes how the brain's neurons communicate, in what scientists equate to a faulty gas pedal in a car that needs more pressure applied to "go." What's ...

Every day, people are constantly learning and forming new memories. When you pick up a new hobby, try a recipe a friend recommended or read the latest world news, your brain stores many of these ...
