Working memory is a cognitive function that is essential for carrying out everyday activities and temporarily retaining ...

Researchers identify the Munc13-1 protein as a crucial molecular pathway for working memory, linking calcium signaling to synaptic strengthening.

Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases are the two most common neurodegenerative disorders, affecting millions of people worldwide. Published in the Journal of Neuroscience, new research from the ...

In a rat model of chronic heart failure, Xijiaqi Formula improved cardiac indices and rescued learning/memory deficits while suppressing glial activation and enhancing synaptic plasticity markers via ...

L-leucine, an FDA-approved compound, exerts neuroprotective effects in Parkinson’s disease models. By reducing alpha-synuclein aggregation and restoring dopamine signaling, NALL targets multiple ...

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 ...

A single psychedelic experience can change the way the brain forms memories, and new research may explain how. A recent study from the University of Kentucky investigated how the psychedelic compound ...

The schematic illustrates biological synaptic transmission (action potential–presynaptic stimulation–channel opening–neurotransmitter release–postsynaptic current) and its electronic emulation: a ...
