A new study challenges a decades-old assumption in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses distinct transmission sites -- not a shared site -- to achieve different types of plasticity.

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement-they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision.

Researchers introduced three TRIO gene variants into mice, showing how each mutation led to brain size reduction and altered ...

Researchers have identified how variations in a gene called TRIO can influence brain functions and result in distinct ...

We identify clusters containing all known classes of glia, clusters that are male/female enriched, and 161 neuron-specific clusters. We map neurotransmitter and neuropeptide expression and identify ...

Is there a difference in brain structure between men and women? If we were to find such a difference in a single neuron, would it matter? One of the most useful models for studying these questions ...

So new nerves started growing. And they grow on one very specific type of neuron that is uniquely equipped to repair the central nervous system. Jocelyne Bloch: So we also observed that the less ...

Researchers at Georgia Tech have uncovered findings with implications for understanding memory and learning, which could lead to restoring memory in Alzheimer's patients. Researchers have ...
