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

USC researchers developed genetically engineered tools that can selectively and reversibly dismantle excitatory or inhibitory ...

This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks ...

Synapses are the connection points where neurons establish contact with each other to transmit information. For this ...

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.

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

A typical neuron is composed of three main structures ... One of their main responsibilities is to form synapses with incoming processes from other neurons (most of the time with another cell’s axon).

can function like a biological neuron and synapse when operated in a specific, unconventional way. Led by Associate Professor Mario Lanza from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering ...
