Researchers at VIB-KU Leuven shed light on an unusual signaling pathway that orchestrates synaptic structure and function during brain development. Leuven, 20 May 2025 - Researchers from the lab led ...

Transcriptomic analyses revealed thousands of differentially expressed genes in the brain, with synaptogenesis signaling emerging as the most significantly disrupted pathway—even at the lowest ...

The screen worked, flagging expected cancer genes. But it also kept returning something that seemed impossible: genes for synapses, glutamate receptors, and neural signaling pathways. “We absolutely ...

One of society’s greatest medical challenges is to understand and develop effective treatments for disorders of intellectual disability (ID). Around 2–3 percent of the global population meet the ...

Low-dose ephedrine disrupts synaptic signaling and behavior in adult zebrafish. Schematic overview of the experimental design, key neurotoxic mechanisms, and functional outcomes following chronic ...
