All cells, whether big or small, short or long, rely on proteins to function properly. In most cells, transporting these proteins is relatively simple. Neurons in the brain, however, face a ...

Thousands of electrophysiological studies have shown that stimulating axons in precise patterns strengthens or weakens synaptic signaling—a phenomenon commonly known as synaptic plasticity.

Electrical signals travel swiftly, but they do not leap blindly from cell to cell. Between neurons, muscles, and glands lie junctions—carefully regulated spaces where signals are translated, filtered, ...

Summary: A new study reveals how young synapses gradually mature to send chemical signals correctly — a process that can take days and depends on neural activity. Researchers tracked this in fruit ...
