    How an enriched environment fires up our synapses - 3 year(s) ago

    Processing of sensory impressions and information depends very much on how the synapses in our brain work. A team around chemist Robert Ahrends from the University of Vienna and neuroscientist Michael R. Kreutz from Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology in Magdeburg now showed how lipid and protein regulation impact brain’s processing of a beautiful and stimulating environment. The lipids located in…

    Alzheimer's discovery reveals "Achilles' heel" of synapse degeneration - 3 year(s) ago

    Scientists believe one of the key culprits behind the cognitive decline seen in Alzheimer’s are amyloid beta proteins that clump together and disrupt the brain’s synaptic connections, but how they carry out such degeneration has remained unclear. A new study has shone compelling new light on this…

    Current issue: Trends in Immunology - 3 year(s) ago

    T cell asymmetry and metabolic crosstalk can fine-tune immunological synapsesT cell asymmetry upon specific cell–cell interactions during mammalian immunological synapse (IS) contacts requires mammalian target of rapamycin complex (mTORC) activation and chaperones, such as the eukaryotic chaperonin containing TCP1 (CCT) for protein synthesis and folding. This mechanism can control cytoskeleton…

    New approach reveals structure and function of individual synapses - 3 year(s) ago

    A common analogy used to describe the brain is that it consists of tiny interconnected computers. Each one of these computers, or neurons, process and relay activity from thousands of other neurons, forming complex networks that allow us to perceive our surroundings, make decisions, and guide our actions. Communication between neurons occurs through tiny connections called synapses, and each…
