Neurons are important, but they are not everything. Indeed, it is "cartilage," in the form of clusters of extracellular matrix molecules called chondroitin sulfates, located in the outside nerve cells ...
Can caffeine save your social life? New research shows how caffeine restores social memory impaired by sleep deprivation by targeting the hippocampal CA2 region. Learn about the molecular mechanisms ...
Sleep loss selectively disrupts memory-related brain circuits and behavior, while caffeine restores synaptic plasticity and ...
The brain's ability to adapt and form new neural connections allows it to recover from injury and maintain cognitive function into old age. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to adapt and ...
The schematic illustrates biological synaptic transmission (action potential–presynaptic stimulation–channel opening–neurotransmitter release–postsynaptic current) and its electronic emulation: a ...

Abstract: Neural tissue requires a great metabolic demand despite negligible intrinsic energy stores. As a result, the central nervous system (CNS) depends upon a continuous influx of metabolic ...
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16, 2023 — Can you recognize someone you haven’t seen in years, but forget what you had for breakfast yesterday? Our brains constantly rearrange their circuitry to remember ...
