Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that suppressing excitatory synaptic transmission in a small group of ...

Researchers at IN-CSIC/UMH in Spain corrected a single gene’s expression in one population of amygdala neurons in adult mice ...

Inside the brain is a dense network of neurons that receive, process, and relay information. The synapse, where neurons meet, ...

Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D images of the synapse, the important juncture where neurons communicate with each other through an exchange of chemical signals. These nanometer ...

Neuronal Type Assignment from Connectivity (NTAC) transforms a connectome into a graph, and detects neuron types using "connectivity fingerprints” and groups the neuronal cell types in the connectome.

Modern artificial intelligence systems rely on moving large amounts of data between memory and processors, a design that ...

Researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a large ...

Synaptic pruning is the process in which the brain removes neurons and synapses that it does not need. This usually takes place when a person is 2–10 years old. The brain contains millions of neurons ...

Researchers at Universidad Miguel Hernandez have identified a specific population of neurons in the central lateral amygdala ...

How do we learn something new? How do tasks at a new job, lyrics to the latest hit song or directions to a friend's house become encoded in our brains? The broad answer is that our brains undergo ...
