A Kobe University research team identified a protein, called “FAM81A,” that has been showing up in the majority of studies on the “postsynaptic density” but has remained uncharacterized so far. In a ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered new insights into how high gamma activity—an informative, widely studied ...

A protein that appears in postsynaptic protein agglomerations has been found to be crucial to their formation. The Kobe University discovery identifies a new key player for synaptic function and sheds ...

In the cerebral cortex, numerous neurons exchange information through junctions known as synapses. The strength of each synaptic connection changes depending on the activity levels of the neurons ...

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 ...
