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

New research reveals that individual neurons follow multiple learning rules simultaneously, challenging the long-held belief that synaptic plasticity operates uniformly throughout the brain.

Every day, people are constantly learning and forming new memories. When you pick up a new hobby, try a recipe a friend ...

How do we learn new things? Neurobiologists using cutting-edge visualization techniques have revealed how changes across our synapses and neurons unfold. The findings depict how information is ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, by mapping cells in a ...

Findings challenge the idea that neurons follow a single learning strategy and offer a new perspective on how the brain ...

Shedding light on how the brain fine-tunes its wiring during learning, a new study finds that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow ...

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

NUS researchers have shown that a single transistor can replicate both neural and synaptic behaviors, marking a significant ...

The modified LSD, which they named JRT, did just that—and more. It stimulated neurons to sprout new dendritic branches and ...

Scientists say the map of a speck of a mouse's brain could be as transformative as the Human Genome Project. Here's what to ...
