The direct conversion of methane (CH4) into high-value-added multi-carbon (C2+) oxygenates, such as acetic acid (CH3COOH), ...

A team of chemists and astronomers have made a discovery in the field of astrochemistry: the identification of cyanocoronene, ...

A new machine learning model shows that star-shaped brain cells may be responsible for the brain's memory capacity, and ...

Brazilian researchers found that boosting the synthesis of hevin, a glycoprotein naturally secreted by astrocytes, led to ...

When we consume foods containing sugar and starch, they are converted into energy in the body's cells through a process called glycolysis.

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...

Sleep is one of the best things you can do for your brain. Learning and memory rely on tiny changes in your synapses, and good-quality sleep helps those changes stick. Without enough rest, synapses ...

In the intricate networks of human and animal brains, decision-making is a highly complex process. While chemical synapses often take center stage, it appears they’re not the only stars of the show.

While chemical synapses are well understood in this context ... Synaptic configurations are key to how animals process sensory information and respond. The new study suggests that the arrangement of ...

For the new study, the researchers investigated a specific type of connection between neuronal cells, called electrical synapses, which differs from the more widely studied chemical synapses ...
