Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these ...

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

A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section ...

Memristors, or “memory resistors,” are the leading candidate for replacing synapses in a neuromorphic (brain-like) computer. Earlier this year, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, or ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers from Japan have ...

Researchers found that up to 80% of excitatory synapses in the hippocampus—a critical structure for learning and memory—of newborns may be silent, compared to fewer than 30% in adulthood.

A team from Fujita Health University developed a computational model to simulate the formation of protein condensates at ...

memory formation hinges on connections between groups of engram cells, which are neurons thought to capture and store ...

A study has revealed that individual neurons use distinct rules across their dendritic compartments to strengthen synapses ...

In this important study, the authors use computational modeling to explore how rapid learning can be reconciled with the accumulation of stable memories in the olfactory bulb, where adult neurogenesis ...
