One protein, two roles: Study shows how Adgrl2 helps build brain connections and blood vessels
The communication network in the developing brain builds when neurons partner up to form contact points called synapses, allowing signals to pass from one cell to another. At the same time, a web of ...
Expansion microscopy enabled researchers to count the number of connections between neurons (green points on purple neuron). Neurons exposed to amyloid-beta formed more connections (SSBs = single ...
The hippocampus follows a "tabula plena" model, starting with dense, random connections that are pruned into an efficient ...
