Inside each neuron ... pruning synapses and clearing debris. These glial cells are not mere support elements; emerging research highlights their dynamic role in modulating neural circuits ...

The brain’s remarkable ability to learn and adapt is rooted in its capacity to modify the connections within its neural circuits—synaptic plasticity—in which specific synapses are altered to ...

A study published by scientists at the University of California San Diego is redefining science's understanding of the way ...

Depending on their location on a neuron’s dendrites, the synapses followed different rules. Some were keen to make local connections. Others formed longer circuits. “Our research provides a clearer ...

Neuromorphic circuits and systems, drawing inspiration from the biological frameworks of neural networks, present a radical ...

With AI, “we are in the process not of re-creating human biology,” said Thomas Naselaris, a neuroscientist at the University ...

to zoom into the brain activity of mice and track the activities of synapses and neuron cells during learning activities. With the ability to see individual synapses like never before, the new ...

Motor learning does much more than adjust activity levels; it sculpts the circuit's wiring ... follow during episodes of learning, with synapses in different regions following different rules.

In neurological disorders, for instance, it could allow selective reactivation of silent neural circuits ... In neuron-like cells, treatment with PDNPs—especially when combined with NIR ...
