Researchers discovered that suppressing BMP signaling in astrocytes reduces seizures and restores brain balance in Fragile X syndrome models.

Salk neuroscientists found how specialized brain cells called astrocytes contribute to fragile X syndrome symptoms: through a ...

Bioluminescent RNA lanterns have revolutionized the way researchers track RNA activity within living organisms. In a groundbreaking study, scientists at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) ...

Neuroplasticity and development have traditionally focused on synaptic mechanisms as the primary substrates of circuit remodeling. However, recent advances ...

A collaborative French–Swiss study reveals a previously unknown role for astrocytes in the brain's information processing. Published in the journal Cell, the research shows that these glial cells are ...

Synaptic transmission is an energy hog. It requires neurons to tap ATP reserves to respond to incoming signals. How do they pull this off, thousands to millions of times per day? A new study ...
