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

Scientists find how general anaesthesia works?
Updated : 6 years, 11 months ago IST
Washington D.C. [USA], Apr 19 (ANI): Ever wondered how general anaesthesia works? Scientists have recently discovered that general anaesthesia makes a person unconscious by seizing the neural circuitry, a population of neurons interconnected by synapses to carry out a specific function wh
