The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

Autistic adults show reduced availability of a key glutamate receptor, mGlu5, across widespread brain regions.

This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose consciousness under anesthesia.

The most common type of brain tumor in children, pilocytic astrocytoma (PA), accounts for about 15% of all pediatric brain tumors. Although this type of tumor is usually not life-threatening, the ...

First author Tim Ziebarth shows the atypical glutamate release events on the screen, which were visualized using a fluorescence sensor. Our brain requires a constant supply of energy. A disrupted ...

In an effort to understand how brain cells exchange chemical messages, scientists say they have successfully used a highly specialized microscope to capture more precise details of how one of the most ...
