A study shows Munc13-1 regulates synaptic strengthening via calcium signaling, enabling efficient neurotransmission and ...

A multi-disciplinary team has found that depriving lab mice of sleep can lead to a reduction in synapse diversity in the brain. In their study, published on the open-access site Current Biology, the ...

Researchers identify the Munc13-1 protein as a crucial molecular pathway for working memory, linking calcium signaling to synaptic strengthening.

By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse ...

Co-written with Jai Liester. Silent synapses represent one of neuroscience's most fascinating discoveries—connections between neurons that lie dormant until activated by specific triggers. These ...
