Rather than holding information in specific areas of the brain, our memories are represented by the connections between neurons, called synapses. According to a recent study from the Salk Institute in ...

Researchers from the lab led by Prof. Joris De Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) have discovered an important clue to how connections between brain cells, known as synapses, mature. These new findings, published in ...

Experimental electron micrograph of purified synaptic vesicles (upper). Synaptic vesicles automatically identified in the image with a new computer program are highlighted with different colours and ...

A collaborative French–Swiss study reveals a previously unknown role for astrocytes in the brain's information processing. Published in the journal Cell, the research shows that these glial cells are ...
