Research Update In hot water: Ocean warming impacts growth, metabolic rate and gene activity of newly hatched clownfish The oceans are heating up, and just 3°C of warming could significantly impact the development and growth of clownfish larvae, a new study finds.
Research Update The uncharted molecular language of the brain A novel method that looks at the molecular composition of brain synapses has revealed three times more proteins than previously thought, finds research published in PNAS.
Research Update Cytoskeletal proteins play maintenance roles in neurotransmission Microtubules and F-actin in presynaptic terminals
Research Update Rules of the Neural Roads: Traffic Control in Your Synapses In brain cells, neurotransmitters are carried inside “cellular vehicles”. OIST scientists elucidate the mechanisms behind the motion of these vehicles in mammalian synapses.
Research Update Exploring Synapses with a Gigantic Advantage Scientists create giant neural connections in culture for the first time.
