1–7). Such changes are of particular interest because these tiny protrusions are the normal site of excitatory synaptic transmission in many regions of the brain, including the hippocampus.

Drug-induced memory engages complex and dynamic processes and is coordinated at multiple reward-related brain regions. The spatiotemporal molecular mechanisms underlying different addiction phases ...

Additionally, water influx can reduce cytoplasmic viscosity and increase spacing between the plasma membrane and the underlying actin cytoskeleton, promoting actin monomer diffusion, actin ...

Although no single food can improve mental sharpness, focus, and memory, some research shows that a nutrient-rich diet with plenty of omega-3 fats, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals is important ...

Evolutionary biologists and neuroscience researchers have teamed up to explore a new approach to recreating the brain structure of extinct and living birds by making digital 'endocasts' from the ...

“The stark contrast … touches on fundamental aspects of brain function,” they stated. They highlight scenarios like typing or speaking, where our performance hovers in the same narrow range, no matter ...

A man with paralysis who had electrodes implanted in his brain can pilot a virtual drone through an obstacle course simply by imagining moving his fingers. His brain signals are interpreted by an ...

Large spines are stable and important for memory trace formation. The majority of large spines also contains synaptopodin (SP), an actin-modulating and plasticity-related protein. Since SP stabilizes ...

Brain tumors are the most common solid tumors affecting children and adolescents, with close to 5,000 children diagnosed each year. Because of their location, some pediatric brain tumors and their ...

The coordinated assembly and disassembly of the neuronal actin cytoskeleton defines the range and complexity ... CAP1 shows a wide tissue distribution whereas CAP2 is primarily present in brain, heart ...
