Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

Neurons can rapidly rebalance their communication using a structural signal rather than electrical activity, overturning long-held assumptions about how synapses maintain stability.

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

A new study suggests that cognitive loss in patients with brain metastases may be due to the interference that cancer produces in neuronal circuits. When cancer spreads in the brain, it changes the ...

Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body.

Neuroscientists have long dreamed of watching thoughts unfold as they happen, without disturbing the fragile tissue that ...

New research from the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences shows that neurons can stabilize their signaling using a fast, physical mechanism — not the electrical activity scientists long ...

Nearly half of all patients with brain metastasis experience cognitive impairment. Until now, it was thought that this was due to the physical presence of the tumour pressing on neural tissue. But ...
