Neurons communicate with each other by passing millisecond-long signals across tiny junctions called synapses. Experiences cause the strength of these connections to change—a process called synaptic ...

University of Rochester researchers have demonstrated a noninvasive method using BL-OG, or bioluminescent optogenetics, that harnesses light to activate neurons in the brain. The ability to regulate ...

Scientists have developed a geometric deep learning method that can create a coherent picture of neuronal population activity during cognitive and motor tasks across experimental subjects and ...

Over 5% of children and adolescents are diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) globally. This condition is characterized by a short attention span, hyperactivity or impulsive ...

At the best resolution achieved, dendodendritic synapses were visible (magenta arrowheads – top). The same sample was then imaged using volume EM (FIB-SEM method) to confirm the accuracy in detecting ...

Over five percent of children and adolescents are diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) globally. This condition is characterized by a short attention span, hyperactivity or ...

Brain organoids are valuable models for studying neurological diseases. However, they mature slowly, limiting their utility for conditions that develop over decades. Until now, stimulation methods ...

A new type of noninvasive brain stimulation may help people with moderate to severe depression feel better faster than standard treatments, researchers in a new report say. The method, called ...

A recent groundbreaking study published in Nature has opened a promising new chapter in the treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other forms of brain injury,. Conducted by researchers from ...
