Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 91, No. 26 (Dec. 20, 1994), pp. 13014-13017 (4 pages) We investigated the synaptic transmission in the parallel ...

Why bother to study the cellular substrates of memory in an atypical brain structure like the cerebellum? The simple answer is that it is the location in the mammalian brain that holds the greatest ...

It is widely thought that persistent, use-dependent alterations in synaptic strength such as long-term synaptic potentiation (LTP) and depression (LTD) underlie at least a portion of memory traces in ...

Purkinje cells of the cerebellum. A new study from the University of Chicago Medical Center has identified that malfunctioning Purkinje cell neuroplasticity is directly associated with the reduced ...

A molecule produced by insulating glial cells facilitates the functional wiring of brain cells involved in motor coordination, scientists have discovered. A molecule produced by insulating glial cells ...

In 1906, Spanish scientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal won the Nobel Prize for his pioneering studies of the microscopic structures of the brain. His famous drawings of Purkinje cells in the cerebellum ...

There are no crystal balls in science. For researchers, making predictions about the outcome of an experiment requires close observation of available data. But in neurobiology, making accurate ...
