Synaptic plasticity is how neurons adapt to new stimuli and necessitates changes in synaptic weight. For these changes to be durable, local translation in neurites, and at pre- and post-synapses is required. Current methods ...
The relay of information from external sensory organs to brain centres that ultimately control behavioural output dictates how an animal interacts with its environment. This process is integral to survival, allowing for ...
The statistical mechanics of the first few hydration layers is vital for many biophysical processes, such as protein folding and unfolding, protein function, lipid bilayer self-assembly, and ligand binding. These processes ...
Lipid droplets (LD) are unique organelles, whose physiological relevance has been underestimated for a long time. Well-known in seed tissues for storing triacylglycerol (TAG) to fuel post-germinative seedling establishment, ...
Synucleinopathies are associated with a generalized slowing of the brain’s rhythmic activity, which co-occurs with dementia and has been connected with increased levels of α synuclein in both patients and test animals. In ...
