A study using Ribo-STAMP technology reveals that protein production in brain cells varies significantly between different types of neurons, offering new insights into autism and memory.
The brain's ability to do everything from forming memories to coordinating movement relies on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time. But directly measuring this protein production, ...
The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals, while the latter support and protect ...
WASHINGTON – A new finding from researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center shows that the learning process of associating cues with rewards can be altered by increased or decreased activity ...
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — A Texas A&M University researcher received a multi-million-dollar grant to advance brain cell ...
The research team discovered that Arvcf knockout significantly reduces the neuronal abundance within the VTA and weakens ...
It takes two to tango, and two to trigger Parkinson’s. New research identifies the "partners in crime" genes that work together to overwhelm the brain’s waste-management system.
Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...
Researchers have long believed that neurons rely on glucose nearly entirely for fuel. The brain’s enormous energy requirements were presumed to be supplied by sugar alone, in contrast to muscle or ...
