In an effort to understand how brain cells exchange chemical messages, scientists say they have successfully used a highly specialized microscope to capture more precise details of how one of the most ...

A highly specialized microscope, called cryoEM, is helping scientists see how glutamate, a major neuron-to-neuron signaling ...

The finding of a new study could advance the development of new drugs that block or open such signaling channels to treat conditions as varied as epilepsy and some intellectual disorders.

Concepts encoded by concept neurons can be an animal, an article of clothing, a place, or a person. The concept can be evoked ...

Cell survival depends on the energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—it's like the fuel that keeps our brain running.

If you are shown four images in quick succession and have to remember the order of these images in order to recognize them ...

Cell survival depends on the energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) - it's like the fuel that keeps our brain running.

QRL-101 is designed to open Kv7.2/7.3 ion channels, which work as gates for potassium in nerve cells and help control their ...

Scientists at the Allen Institute have made a major breakthrough in research for people living with Dravet Syndrome, which is ...

By replacing the defective gene associated with Dravet syndrome in mice, scientists successfully alleviated symptoms without ...

While mechanisms of local overexcitation have been the focus of many studies, the process of triggering remains poorly understood. We suggest that, apart from the known exteroceptive sources of reflex ...
