New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.

A new study published in the journal Science Signaling has found that an immune system protein plays a central role in the ...

Neurons communicate by passing electrical messages, known as action potentials, between each other. Each neuron has a highly specialized structural region, the axon initial segment (AIS), whose ...

We’re aware that a good night’s sleep helps to restore energy, but a new study in rats and mice, carried by scientists at Cornell University, has found that sleep also resets another vital function, ...
