The team tracked these changes at the dendritic level by visualizing dendritic spines, tiny protrusions on dendrites where neurons communicate. The formation of new memories triggered the addition ...

Structural abnormalities in dendrites (spine loss and dendritic beading) are commonly observed in human pathological studies and animal models of epilepsy, and may contribute to progressive ...

For 20 years, neuroscientists—including myself—have used cutting-edge microscopy technology in living animals to observe ...

Research highlights the potential for modifying the chemical structures of psychedelics to produce analogues with improved ...

Excitatory synapses are located in confined chemical spaces called the dendritic spines. These are atypical femtoliter-order microdomains where the behavior of even single molecules may have ...

Using mice that were genetically modified to mimic chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, Bearden and her colleagues at the ...

Researchers have identified changes in brain connectivity before and after puberty that may explain why some children with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome are more susceptible to autism and ...

Dendrites—the extensions of neurons that receive information—develop small protrusions called dendritic spines. These have the unique ability to cluster tightly together, forming privileged zones of ...

UC Davis researchers developed JRT, a modified version of LSD that promotes neuroplasticity without hallucinogenic effects.
