Scientists have uncovered how a newly discovered gene, NEK1, in which mutations have been linked to ALS cases, disrupts the function of the motor neuron and causes it to degenerate and die. The viral ...
When you interact with the world around you, your experiences are recorded as changes in the connection strengths between neurons in your brain. This process, called synaptic plasticity, alters how ...
Neurons have variable levels of chromatin compaction, shown as different shades of red. The less compact a neuron, the more likely it is to be recruited into the memory trace (green). When we form a ...
A team led by the UAB Institut de Neurociències (INc-UAB) has for the first time identified the mechanism behind a ...

Scientists uncover insights into neuron function by simultaneously measuring two key signals in living animals
Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative technique to non-invasively measure two key signals, membrane voltage and intracellular calcium levels, at the same time, in neurons of ...
Scientists at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus have discovered a new kind of synapse in the tiny hairs on the surface of neurons. The commonly overlooked protrusions called primary cilia contain special ...
When a new memory forms the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a “memory trace.” This memory trace represents the specific patterns of neuronal activity and ...
CHICAGO --- The viral ALS Ice Bucket Challenge a few years ago raised major funding that resulted in the discovery of new genes connected to the disease. One of those genes is NEK1, in which mutations ...
