By Will Dunham WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a ...

I used to show a diagram much like this back in the 1960s, except that in place of “synapses” I had “brain”. The point, then as now, was to show that all influences on adult personality ...

These mysterious structures have revolutionized our understanding of brain plasticity and development while opening new therapeutic avenues for various neuropsychiatric conditions. Silent synapse ...

Every infant’s brain develops through a period of synaptogenesis—wanton proliferation of synapses, which are the connections between neurons—in the first year or so of life. But one could ...
