Researchers have identified a unique mitochondrial process in CA2 neurons that supports learning, memory, and social ...

Farris and her team discovered that mitochondria in CA2 neurons are not uniform. Instead, their structure and function vary depending on their location within the neuron. Mitochondria in the ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

We have investigated the role of mitochondrial calcium buffering in excitotoxic cell death. Glutamate acts at NMDA receptors in cultured rat forebrain neurons to increase the intracellular free ...

New research details the subcellular structures in neurons that enable signals to be transmitted from where they are received at specific sites on dendrites to the decision-making cell body located ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that helps brain cells adapt and strengthen connections, ...
