New research from Colorado State University into the ways neurons regulate chemical balance in the brain could provide ...

Our modern world is loud. Just sitting in a car, or an airplane, or watching movie previews, we are bombarded with sound. Even when those noises aren’t damaging to the sensitive microphone that is our ...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Transduction is the changing of one form of energy into another, such as a spoken voice changed into radio waves by a cellphone. Ten years ago, three research teams published a ...

A genetic analysis of synapse formation changes the current understanding of the events that generate acetylcholine receptor clustering and synapse-specific receptor transcription. The clustering of ...

A vesicle, only a few nanometers in size and filled with neurotransmitters, approaches a cell membrane, fuses with it, and ...

This is a microscopic image of two nerve-muscle synapses in a mouse model of a human motor neuron disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ALS) in which nerve-muscle contacts break. Energy-producing ...

Researchers have found, for the first time, that a blood-clotting protein can, unexpectedly, degrade nerves--and how nerve-supporting glial cells, including Schwann cells, provide protection. The ...

Synapse XT improves a person’s network of synapses, which bridge the nerve cells to each other. You can experience less brain fatigue and tinnitus relief. This supplement can also strengthen memory.

Researchers have demonstrated an artificial organic neuron, a nerve cell, that can be integrated with a living plant and an artificial organic synapse. Both the neuron and the synapse are made from ...

Strange sea creatures called ctenophores have a fused nerve net where scientists expected to see synapses. Did they evolve their nervous system separately from other animals? When you purchase through ...
