Discover how circHomer1 influences synapse development in mice, crucial for understanding brain adaptation to visual changes.

Researchers discovered that a circular RNA is crucial for synapse development and plasticity in the mouse visual system.

Wiring up the brain's trillions of circuit connections is an enormous job performed by a huge crew of molecules. Among the less understood members are circular RNAs, transcripts from DNA that assume a ...

Science shows that constant complaining doesn't just spread negativity, it actually changes your brain's wiring.

A new study reveals how young synapses gradually mature to send chemical signals correctly — a process that can take days and depends on neural activity.

This balance—neurons as the silent bee workers, waves as the queen’s rhythm holding the hive together—suggests consciousness ...

Faulty brain circuits seen in Down syndrome may be caused by the lack of a particular molecule essential for the development ...

Researchers have achieved the first demonstration in mice of using gene therapy to reverse hallmark symptoms of ...

New research suggests a missing brain molecule may hold the key to understanding—and potentially treating—the faulty neural ...

Scientists have uncovered a toxic alliance between Aβ and fibrinogen that may explain how Alzheimer’s disease begins. The two ...

Faulty brain circuits seen in Down syndrome may be caused by the lack of a particular molecule essential for the development and function of the nervous system, according to a new ...

New research shows the brain listens differently when we focus, fine-tuning sound responses to match the task at hand.
