Synaptic changes in the brains of patients with frontotemporal dementia can be modeled in the laboratory
Neurons produced from frontotemporal dementia patients' skin biopsies using modern stem cell technology recapitulate the synaptic loss and dysfunction detected in the patients' brains, a new study ...
Neurons communicate with each other by passing millisecond-long signals across tiny junctions called synapses. Experiences cause the strength of these connections to change—a process called synaptic ...
The Alzheimer’s risk gene phospholipase C-γ2 has been thought to act mainly in microglia. Now, in a May 1 preprint on bioRxiv, researchers led by Jean-Charles Lambert, Julie Dumont, and Julien Chapuis ...
Learning programs the brain. It is nature’s way to create simultaneously both “hardware” and “software” for the brain. Neuroscientists have long known that learning experiences change the functional ...

Dopamine under control: Precision regulation of inhibition shapes learning, memory and mental health
For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of pleasure, motivation, and reinforcement. In popular understanding, higher ...
