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

When there are fewer dendritic spines, fewer synapses are formed, and brain cells struggle to communicate properly. This ...

This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world, and it’s made possible by synapses, tiny junctions dotting a neuron’s branches that receive and transmit input from ...

This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks that govern thought, behavior, and consciousness. It also explores how ...

As you experience or encounter new things, your brain must encode this information via the right neural networks at the right ...

In contrast, plasticity in basal dendrites was linked to the neuron's overall output—strengthening or weakening depending on how synapse activity aligned with global action potential firing.

How do memories last a lifetime when the molecules that form them turn over within days, weeks or months? An interaction ...

Ever since humans have existed, the quest for immortality has been a theme of myths and legends. With our advanced technology ...

In contrast, plasticity in basal dendrites was linked to the neuron’s overall output, strengthening or weakening depending on how synapse activity aligned with global action potential firing.

Researchers expect LICONN technology will be broadly useful to enable high-resolution tissue analysis in other organs and ...
