Scientists have discovered a new kind of synapse in the tiny hairs on the surface of neurons. The commonly overlooked protrusions called primary cilia contain special junctions that act as a shortcut ...

Life depends on motion. To eat, go home, or explore, we must know where we are, where we want to go and how to get there. We ...

Researchers have uncovered a synapse on neurons’ tiny hair-like structures, which may facilitate long-term changes to genomic information in the nucleus. A new study from the Howard Hughes Medical ...

While the neural architecture responsible for the transmission of electrical impulses has been known for more than a century, the basic biology behind how a neuron acquires its one and only axon -- a ...
