New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Alzheimer's is a devastating disease that results in memory loss and cognitive decline. It's caused by brain cells dying and the brain itself shrinking from a buildup of proteins. Millions of seniors ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

Brains are bewilderingly complicated systems of connections between neurons. Mapping those connections is an important step in understanding how brains work. Scientists have recently completed the ...

Pancreatic tumours hijack neuronal signalling mechanisms to boost cancer growth. A technology to identify and profile mouse neurons that connect the spinal cord to pancreatic cancer might improve ...
