China Medical University Hospital (CMUH, Taiwan) continues to make significant strides in cell therapy, demonstrating its ...

Researchers have discovered a novel brain mechanism, behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity (BTSP), that enables neurons to ...

This progressive, nearly inevitable process has long been hypothesized as a consequence of nature's removal of dendritic spines, a key component of synapses, from brain neurons as they age. A study ...

For 20 years, neuroscientists — including myself — have used cutting-edge microscopy technology in living animals to observe microscopic structures called dendritic spines constantly budding out, ...

Researchers have discovered that stronger synaptic connections between neurons in the brain trigger deeper sleep.

The Neuroscience Institute hosts Seminars by Postdocs in Neuroscience: Extramural Series, or SPiNES, which allow established postdoctoral researchers from outside of NYU to present their work in an ...

This means a third or even up to a half of your hard on is hidden. Don’t panic, your penis doesn’t actually have spines! But, while humans don’t have penile spines, plenty of closely related ...

In the published article, there was an error in the legend for Figure 2A as published. The low-power image of dendritic spines of BLA was mistakenly labeled as from ...

Two fell in introns of genes that are X-inactivated, namely FRMPD4 and DMD. The former regulates dendritic spines and neurotransmission and variants in it cause X-linked intellectual disability.

They can be injected into the body to make the cells of the immune system better at responding to and destroying cancer cells. These include whole cell vaccines and dendritic cell vaccines. A whole ...

When osteoporosis has made your bones weak, the chances are higher that they’ll crack or break, even the bones of your spine. These spine fractures, also called vertebral compression fractures ...

Flat back syndrome is also called fixed sagittal imbalance. With this condition, the normal curve in your lower spine is reduced or absent. A major symptom is difficulty standing for long periods of ...
