A new study reveals how NREM sleep enhances cognitive performance by synchronizing neural activity and improving information ...

Researchers have developed the most detailed 3D computational models of key brain regions, including the hippocampus and ...

In recent years, ketamine — long known for its misuse as a psychedelic party drug — has become a “life-saving” medicine for ...

A recent study has uncovered the intricate ways in which a rare genetic mutation impacts brain cell communication, providing ...

University at Buffalo neuroscientists have identified the binding site of low-dose ketamine, providing critical insight into ...

The term "alert and oriented" (AO) is a medical notation describing a person's level of consciousness and cognition (the ability to understand and learn through thought, experiences, and the senses).

In their study, the researchers have now uncovered the details of the cells’ inhibitory synapses. The researchers used subcellular patch clamp recording, guided by an advanced light microscopy ...

The device exhibits favorable synaptic behaviors, such as excitatory postsynaptic current, paired pulse facilitation, and photoelectric potentiation-depression. Subsequently, an artificial neural ...
