the Dorys McConnell Duberg Professor of Neuroscience and Cell Biology at Yale School of Medicine and corresponding author of the study. The team found that these electrical synapses don't simply ...
The involved risk genes suggest an impairment of synapse biology, so the ability of neurons to communicate with each other. This impairment might also be present in the brains of schizophrenia ...
A new collaboration has unlocked new potential for the field by creating a novel high-performance organic electrochemical neuron that responds within the frequency range of human neurons.
However, it was previously unclear how the neurons implement these changes in strength across several synapses that are close to each other and active at the same time. Researchers from the ...
Recent research from scientists at Yale and the University of Connecticut has revealed the significant role of electrical synapses in shaping our decisions. The study was led by Dr. Daniel Colon-Ramos ...
A tiny brain for immense discoveries. The fruit fly, this simple vinegar fly, holds within it the secrets of neural connections. Could understanding its brain pave the way for insights into human ...
[Originally published in Synapse on January 29, 2004.] A critically ill man who is infected with TB sits at home... After a decade of moving between the Bay Area, the Midwest, and Mexico, in August of ...
Activating excitatory neurons significantly promoted functional recovery and inhibited microglia-mediated synaptic pruning after stroke. Furthermore, it decreased EPS and C1q levels in synapses. On ...
