Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative technique to non-invasively measure two key signals, membrane voltage and intracellular calcium levels, at the same time, in neurons of ...

Mitochondria play a crucial role in maintaining energy balance and cellular health. Recent studies have shown that chronic stress in neuronal mitochondria can have far-reaching effects, not only ...

Mitochondrial ATP production and calcium handling are critical for metabolic regulation and neurotransmission. Thus, the formation and maintenance of the mitochondrial network is a critical component ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a previously unrecognized mechanism by which inherited calcium channel mutations disrupt early brain development and predispose children to ...

Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) declines in ageing and neurodegenerative diseases. Loss of CMA in neurons leads to neurodegeneration and behavioural changes in mice but the role of CMA in neuronal ...

This mitochondrial process supports the brain cells essential to learning, memory and social recognition. We know that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, but what role do they play in ...
