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

Synapses are key to the brain's function, especially when it comes to memory. Synapses connect neurons and help transmit information from one neuron to the next. They pass sensory signals such as ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

To explore how synapses function and adapt during learning ... In contrast, plasticity in basal dendrites was linked to the neuron's overall output—strengthening or weakening depending on ...

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

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

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

that allows switching between operating modes (neuron or synapse), offering great versatility in manufacturing since both functions can be reproduced using a single block, without the need to dope ...

A neuron-specific splice variant of ... What other signaling molecules function along with neurexin and neuroligin in synapse formation, and how are the molecular interactions orchestrated?

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 ...
