A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled.

Researchers have identified distinct molecular pathways that explain why cold feels different depending on where the body ...

A team in Germany has shown that mouse brain tissue can regain measurable signs of activity after being preserved in a ...

Summary: New research has overturned a long-held belief in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses separate synaptic transmission sites for spontaneous and evoked signaling. Traditionally thought ...

Your brain doesn t just send messages through one universal route it uses separate pathways for spontaneous activity and signals linked to learning. These findings overturn a major neuroscience ...

Summary: A new computational model has mapped the brain’s vesicle cycle in unprecedented detail, providing fresh insight into how nerve cells communicate. Researchers collaborated to simulate how ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...

Scientists at Wenzhou Medical University and Xiamen University have shown how autism symptoms in mice arise when a certain pair of competing nerve proteins falls out of equilibrium. The results of the ...

In mice, autism symptoms arise when a certain pair of competing nerve proteins falls out of equilibrium, according to a study published April 1 st in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Dongdong ...
