The FDA has granted Fast Track designation to SPG601 for the treatment of Fragile X syndrome, a common inherited cause of autism.

Figure 2: Going inside the spines and exploring synaptic proteins that support the function of individual synapses. Thus, the truth may be a mixture of these two possibilities, to say the least ...

New research reveals how electrical synapses filter sensory input, helping animals choose actions based on context.

Synaptic configurations play a key role in how the nervous system processes sensory information to generate behavioral ...

The team found that these electrical synapses don’t simply transmit signals, they also act as a “filter.” In worms with normal INX-1 function, the electrical connection effectively dampens signals ...

Researchers at KAUST, Saudi Arabia, have made significant strides in neuromorphic computing by developing a reconfigurable ...

“It would be interesting to investigate whether improving endolysosomal function, as we did in aged neurons, recovers synapses,” she wrote. Almeida found that restoring the acid pH of lysosomes ...

What other signaling molecules function along with neurexin and neuroligin in synapse formation, and how are the molecular interactions orchestrated? The present picture of the neurexin ...
