In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...

Researchers have long sought to understand the biological mechanisms that underlie learning. We know that the brain creates links and networks among neurons as we learn and form memories. Synaptic ...

Synapse labeling strategies involve marking synaptic contact sites with different fluorescent proteins in the pre- and postsynaptic compartments. The interface between these contacts is also labeled, ...
