A groundbreaking study using PET scans has revealed that autistic individuals have fewer brain synapses, directly correlating ...

Central to this activity are synapses, the junctions where branches of neurons connect, similar to electrical wires. Here, an axon from one neuron links to a dendrite of another. At these synapses, ...

Ion channels in the nervous system refers to the study of ion channels – proteins allowing charged particles to cross membranes – found in neurons ... gap junctions essential for electrical ...

Synaptic transmission is the biological process by which a neuron communicates with a target cell ... Electrical synapse transmission involves the transfer of electrical signals through gap junctions.

A mysterious electromagnetic mechanism may be more important than the firing of neurons in our brains to explain our ...

This study presents valuable insights into the organization of second-order circuits for gustatory neurons, particularly how they integrate opposing taste inputs and the metabolic states that regulate ...

Professor Carsten Carlberg has published a comprehensive new textbook, "Gene Regulation and Epigenetics: How Science Works," which presents the current understanding of gene regulation and ...

Top balancing is practical for small electric vehicles as charging overnight fills up and balances the batteries. Larger and heavier electric vehicles, on the other hand, do not enjoy such convenience ...

The original plan was for PowerCo to supply battery cells for around three million electric cars by 2030. By then, electric vehicles were expected to account for 70% of Group sales.

eLife is a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. Our mission is to help scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research communication that ...
