A growing body of preclinical research is converging on a provocative idea: that the mental health benefits of physical exercise might one day be delivered in pill form. Scientists have identified ...

Researchers from the lab led by Prof. Joris De Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) have discovered an important clue to how connections between brain cells, known as synapses, mature. These new findings, published in ...

Behavioral assays linked these molecular disturbances to functional outcomes. Exposed fish displayed increased locomotor activity, heightened anxiety-like behavior, and altered learning performance, ...

The schematic illustrates biological synaptic transmission (action potential–presynaptic stimulation–channel opening–neurotransmitter release–postsynaptic current) and its electronic emulation: a ...
