A review highlighting recent advances in genetically encoded fluorescent tools for labeling and selectively manipulating synapses has been published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience. This innovative ...
Loss of synapses and synapse function sit at the heart of a number of diseases, not just neurodegenerative examples such as dementia and Parkinson's disease but also conditions such as diabetes. We do ...
How do we learn new things? Neurobiologists using cutting-edge visualization techniques have revealed how changes across our synapses and neurons unfold. The findings depict how information is ...
Your brain is carrying more spare wiring than anyone suspected. In a study that upended a long-standing assumption in ...
This original animation illustrates that presynaptic neurons secrete VLK, which then phosphorylates the extracellular side of ephrin type-B receptor 2 (EphB2) extruding from the membranes of ...
Synapse labeling strategies involve marking synaptic contact sites with different fluorescent proteins in the pre- and postsynaptic compartments. The interface between these contacts is also labeled, ...
