Once neuron sidekicks, astrocytes now seen as the real brain bosses
For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...
A study by Dorothy P. Schafer, Ph.D., and Travis E. Faust, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, explains how two different cell types in the brain—astrocytes and microglia—communicate in response to ...
Researchers at Tohoku University and Nagoya University developed a fluorescent probe that can quickly show synapses, the connection points between brain cells. By simply "sprinkling" this probe on top ...
Johns Hopkins scientists reveal that “inactive” GluD brain proteins regulate neuronal communication and open up new ...
To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate ...
The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...
Instant synapse visualization with our fluorescence probe. A diagram showing that the fluorescent probe can visualize AMPA receptors on synapses by sprinkling. There are few scientific methods more ...
