The gene neuropilin2 encodes a receptor involved in cell-cell interactions in the brain and plays a key role in regulating the development of neural circuits. Neuropilin2 controls migration of ...

BIN1, a late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) genetic risk factor, is involved in many cellular phenomena, including vesicular trafficking and tau production. Now, in the August 26 Cell Reports, ...

What am I looking at? This is a video showing a section of the cerebral cortex from a mouse. The video was taken by moving the focal plane of a microscope from the bottom of a thick section of brain ...

Most drugs exert their effects by changing the balance between excitatory and inhibitory signals at certain synapses. This is shown specifically using the examples of amphetamine, cocaine, LSD and ...

A wave of recent neuroscience research has identified specific molecular and cellular mechanisms through which alcohol disrupts signaling between brain cells, offering a sharper picture of how ...

A new study has shown how aspects of brain function change with age, revealing that excitatory processes in the brain decrease, while inhibitory processes increase as children get older. The findings ...
