Alzheimer’s disease is a long, slow neurodegenerative calamity, and scientists are still hunting for blood biomarkers that ...

The primitive hydra provides an evolutionarily early example of basic neural networks. Its synaptic connections between ...

Here we characterized a light-gated chloride channel, GtACR2, in mouse cortical neurons. We found that GtACR2 activation inhibited the soma, but unexpectedly depolarized the presynaptic terminals ...

Surprisingly, less than 50% of hippocampal CA1 presynaptic boutons contain mitochondria, raising the question of whether synapses without mitochondria can sustain changes in efficacy. To address this ...
