Time-resolved cryo-ET uncovered a unified mechanism of synaptic vesicle (SV) exocytosis, reshaping our understanding of brain signaling and disease.

A research team has resolved a 50-year-old controversy in neuroscience. By employing a self-developed, time-resolved ...

Nervous system functions, from motion to perception to cognition, depend on the active zones of neural circuit connections ...

Researchers from the lab led by Prof. Joris De Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) have discovered an important clue to how connections between brain cells, known as synapses, mature. These new findings, published in ...

Neurons produced from dementia patients' skin biopsies using stem cell technology recapitulate their synaptic dysfunction.

Scientists have discovered that depression can be driven by abnormal sugar modifications on proteins in the brain, offering a new molecular pathway for understanding the disorder.

A new study from the University of Liverpool represents a significant step forward in scientists’ understanding of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers have shed new light on how mechanical signalling in ...
