A team of scientists led by the University College London (UCL) has explored how the brain manages synaptic connections ...

Synaptic was originally spun out of Vy Capital in 2016 by its founders, Anurag Abbott and Rohit Razdan Synaptic claims to employ 100 performance metrics such as web and mobile traffic, SEO data ...

Neurons are important, but they are not everything. Indeed, it is "cartilage," in the form of clusters of extracellular ...

During the first half of sleep, the brain actively weakens the synaptic connections formed during wakefulness, supporting the ...

Alpha-synuclein binding to the synapsin E-domain is essential and sufficient for their cooperation in attenuating synaptic-vesicle trafficking and neurotransmission.

Synaptic dysfunction is a core component of the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. However, the genetic risk factors and molecular mechanisms related to synaptic dysfunction are still not fully ...

Solanezumab worsened neurodegenerative marker NfL. In the new paper, McDade and colleagues report results from markers of synaptic function, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration. In keeping with ...

Researchers have found that while we sleep, we lose synaptic connections that have been forged while awake. ‘Why do we sleep?’ is a question that has puzzled scientists for a long time. Now, a study ...

In addition to the beneficial effects of GABA within the brain, GABA may also have beneficial effects throughout the body: GABA may reduce hypertension and lower blood pressure. GABA and GABA-enriched ...

The functional role of an individual neuron within a cortical circuit is largely determined by that neuron's synaptic input. We examined the laminar sources of local input to subtypes of cortical ...
