A new study has revealed how tau – a microtubule-binding protein that is implicated in Alzheimer’s disease – weakens transmission across synapses in the brains of mice When injected into presynaptic ...

In the 1950s, advances in microscopy techniques allowed scientists to visualize synaptic communication between two brain cells for the first time. 1,2 However, many details beyond the general synapse ...

For the first time, researchers identified the function of the CASKIN2 protein, which plays a key role in precise signal transmission between neurons and memory formation in the brain. This study is ...
