Connections made via apical synapses seemed to be strengthened by movement information more than those made via basal ...

Every day, people are constantly learning and forming new memories. When you pick up a new hobby, try a recipe a friend ...

Findings challenge the idea that neurons follow a single learning strategy and offer a new perspective on how the brain learns and adapts behavior.

Shedding light on how the brain fine-tunes its wiring during learning, a new study finds that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow ...

NUS researchers have shown that a single transistor can replicate both neural and synaptic behaviors, marking a significant ...

The ultimate effect of a signal from one neuron on the next neuron depends on the function of the synapse, which is based on the type of neurotransmitter released. Excitatory synapses send signals ...

They are the most common neuron found in mammalian bodies. Neuron Function Synapses Neural synapses are junctions between neurons that permit neural communication. Synapses come in two different forms ...

A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section ...

Our research investigates how these liquid-like properties contribute to the main function of the neuron in synaptic ...

The brain dynamically adapts its function in response ... in reorganization of synapses and neural circuits. We aim to reveal the underlying mechanisms by which the brain adapts to its environment and ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date.

The ultimate effect of a signal from one neuron on the next neuron depends on the function of the synapse, which is based on the type of neurotransmitter released. Excitatory synapses send signals ...
