“These experiments suggest they don’t need to. They just grow and synapse with anything, providing they grow in the right direction and the right broad path of the nervous system.” “The enormous ...

we have been able to completely redefine synapse formation in the cerebellum," says Yuzaki. The experts confirmed that the ...

When a B cell encounters membrane-bound antigen, signalling through the B-cell receptor (BCR) induces cytoskeletal reorganization and morphological changes that lead to the formation of an ...

the research provides a fresh perspective on how subtle disruptions in protein function may influence synapse formation and neuronal networks. The results underscore the need for new experimental ...

Boost has developed a proprietary human iPSC platform and cutting-edge experimental technologies to interrogate human synapse and neuronal network formation and function. The company’s mission ...

However, the study provides limited new insights into the relationship between retinal lamination defects and overall retinal function. Neural lamination is a common feature of the central nervous ...

The hormone, which is well known for regulating appetite, appears to influence neuronal development—a finding that could shed light on disorders such as autism that involve dysfunctional synapse ...

When growth cones reach their synaptic targets, they must both send and receive signals in order to promote formation of mature synapses. We know little about the identity of such signals ...
