Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain's neurons has a kind of "molecular memory," which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories. The researchers have ...

An often-overlooked communication strategy for neurons might be more prevalent than previously believed. New research from biology professor Adam Miller’s lab in the UO’s College of Arts and Sciences ...

This axon is separated from the axon of the next nerve cell in the communication chain by a gap called a synapse. When this electrical impulse reaches the end of an axon, the neuron releases ...

Combining almonds with certain foods can create a powerful brain-boosting synergy, enhancing memory, focus, and cognitive ...

Scientists are looking at ways to tackle Alzheimer's and dementia from all kinds of angles, and a new study has identified ...

A recent study revealed that a protein important for neuron communication is associated with patient resistance to Alzheimer's disease and may delay cognitive decline. Like the cord that connects ...

The researchers blocked communication from these sensory neurons and discovered increased metabolic activity in the fat tissue. When sensory neuron communication was silenced, the sympathetic ...

The team discovered that in comparison with young neurons, old neurons displayed hallmarks of molecular stress, such as ...
