Neuronal calcium sensors (NCS) comprise a pivotal family of EF‐hand calcium‐binding proteins that translate transient fluctuations in intracellular Ca²⁺ into specific cellular responses. These ...
Every second, neurons in the human brain burn through billions of ATP molecules to fire signals, rebuild synapses, and keep ...
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a previously unrecognized mechanism by which inherited calcium channel mutations disrupt early brain development and predispose children to ...
This mitochondrial process supports the brain cells essential to learning, memory and social recognition. We know that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, but what role do they play in ...
New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest that neuron-only brain models, such as connectomes, leave out a crucial ...
Researchers identify key rules for how visual cortex neurons organize thousands of synaptic inputs based on distance and clustering.
