A new study has shown how aspects of brain function change with age, revealing that excitatory processes in the brain decrease, while inhibitory processes increase as children get older. The findings ...

Attention can feel like a fragile thing, especially when your brain struggles to sort signal from noise. Every second, your ...

Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have identified a remarkably small but critical piece of genetic code that helps determine how brain cells connect, communicate, and function. The ...

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

The fruit fly, Drosophila, has emerged as a pivotal model for deciphering the neural circuitry underlying motion vision. Research in this area has revealed that motion detection in Drosophila relies ...

Deletion of mini-exon B in the synaptic adhesion molecule PTPδ leads to altered neural connectivity from the entorhinal cortex to the dentate gyrus (left panel). In mice lacking mini-exon B, ...
