Learn more about the “glue sniffer” protein, which is able to detect brain cells’ incoming chemical signals, and what that ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

Neurons are famously fragile, yet some injured cells manage to hang on, stabilize, and even reconnect. That quiet resilience ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have unraveled the processes that give astrocytes, the most abundant glial cell in the brain, their special bushy shape, which is fundamental for brain ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

It detects the faintest incoming signals between neurons, the release of glutamate, the brain’s most common neurotransmitter.

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

Researchers have discovered that mysterious clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling 'hotspots' that activate gene transcription, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals).
