The laboratory of Ege Kavalali, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, published a paper in Nature Communications that determined that liquid-liquid phase separation plays a key role ...

When there are fewer dendritic spines, fewer synapses are formed, and brain cells struggle to communicate properly. This ...

Real neurons don't actually talk to each other with electrical spikes. For that, their synapses deploy vesicles filled with transmitters. Although there is clearly a relation between the spikes a ...

The idea of a robot that can learn and function on its own, without the need for any human help, might sound like the plot to the latest science fiction blockbuster. But scientists have got one step ...

Size may not be everything when it comes to brain evolution, say experts. Instead, UK research reveals that the rising complexity of connections between brain cells may have been the biggest driving ...
