Scientists discover new kind of synapse in neurons' tiny hairs
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], September 3 (ANI): 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 for sending signals quickly and directly to the cell's n

Possibility of changing the identity of synapses between neurons : Study
Updated : 3 years, 9 months ago IST
New York [US], June 14 (ANI): A new study by the Colorado State University suggests that the cells in your brain, called neurons, are sending rapid-fire electrical signals between each other, transmitting information. They're doing so via tiny, specialized junctions between them called synap

Sponges can tell us about evolution of brain: Study
Updated : 4 years, 4 months ago IST
Berlin [Germany], November 13 (ANI): The neurons in a brain communicate via synapses. These connections between cells lie at the heart of brain function and are regulated by several different genes. Sponges do not have these synapses, but their genome still encodes many of the synaptic genes
