Our brain is a complex organ ... to accurately trace cellular circuit components, including axons and dendritic spines, as well as resolving synaptic connections and assigning them to specific ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new method for selectively and reversibly breaking connections between brain cells — a leap forward that ... the signal to the next neuron, disrupting the circuit.

Once thought to play a supporting function in the brain, new research published in Science shows non-neuronal astroglial cells perform a leading role in regulating the activity of neurons and their ...

In biology classes from high school through university, I learned that mitochondria are little objects that reside within ...

The retina alone cannot distinguish whether motion is symmetric or not; it requires additional processing from other brain regions ... have also mapped the full circuit responsible for this ...

My search for answers to these stupendously ambitious questions led me, it now seems inexorably, to mitochondria. This idea ...

Summary: New research reveals that learning doesn’t just alter brain activity — it physically rewires the connections between key brain ... it sculpts the circuit’s wiring, refining the conversation ...
