Differences in kinetics of retinal output signals originate at least in part from differences in synaptic output from distinct bipolar cell types.

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 ...

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by extreme mood changes. Individuals diagnosed with BD ...

Scientific evidence shows how the cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is caused by the buildup of amyloid beta proteins, which promote synaptic malfunction. One of the neuropathological ...

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University reported yesterday in Nature Neuroscience that they have identified two sets of genes whose decreased expression patterns in key areas of the brain appear to ...

“The results from this study support the beneficial effects of the D-serine pathway involvement in NMDAR-mediated transmission and cognitive function [...]” “We hypothesized that augmenting SR ...

In a recent study published in Molecular Metabolism, researchers investigated whether under chronic [in obese mice with leptin-associated ob gene mutation (ob/ob)] or acute [six hours of fasting in ...
