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 ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

How do cell phones affect our memories? What percentage of them are imagined? A group of neuroscientists is trying to unravel ...
