Neuroscientists observe electrical signals in the soma and dendrites of living mice

The human brain contains billions of neurons, specialized nerve cells that communicate with each other via electrical and chemical signals. Every neuron is made up of its body (i.e., soma), where most cellular processes occur; a long projection called an axon that sends signals t

After amyloid plaques form, tau and alpha-synuclein pathology rises in mice

The aging brain frequently harbors multiple protein pathologies that contribute to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases. But how do these problematic proteins interact with each other, and could these interactions inform future therapies? Researchers at T
