The study explores molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity - the strengthening or weakening of neuronal connections that enable learning and memory.

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...
