Cognitive tasks, such as learning and memory, require rapid changes to proteins at synapses, such as protein synthesis, degradation, and trafficking. How protein post-translational modifications ...
Li’s study, “TIAM1-mediated synaptic plasticity underlies comorbid depression-like and ketamine antidepressant-like actions in chronic pain," was recently published in The Journal of Clinical ...
For decades, the scientific theory of depression focused on chemicals — serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. Nearly every ...
Findings underpin the scientific rationale for Anavex’s targeted autophagy approach with orally administered blarcamesineConvergence of impaired ...
Cannabidiol, the non-psychoactive compound derived from cannabis, improved cognitive and emotional deficits linked to ...
How do we learn something new? How do tasks at a new job, lyrics to the latest hit song or directions to a friend's house become encoded in our brains? The broad answer is that our brains undergo ...
Shedding light on how the brain fine-tunes its wiring during learning, a new study finds that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow distinct rules. The findings challenge the idea ...
By adding, removing, strengthening, or weakening synaptic contacts, our brain encodes new events or forgets previous ones. In AD, synaptic plasticity, the brain's ability to regulate the strength of ...
New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...
