The development of the vertebrate nervous system relies on dynamic interactions between neurons and their environment, orchestrated in large part by neural cell adhesion molecules (NCAMs). Among these ...

A new study has revealed that neural inhibition and balanced neural activity in a specific area of the brain is required for recognition memory. The findings could help provide better understanding of ...

During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular switch" involving the protein Teneurin 4 (Ten4). This protein can guide ...
