Silent synapses are dormant neural connections that hold untapped brain potential. Discover how ketamine, exercise, and other ...

The functioning of the brain relies on the establishment of very precise connections between neurons: synapses. A recent ...

Concepts encoded by concept neurons can be an animal, an article of clothing, a place, or a person. The concept can be evoked ...

International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) researchers have developed a neuromorphic photonic semiconductor neuron ...

When under stress, neurons crank out tau fragments, and many scientists blame this for the propagation of tangle pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. The fragments also directly compromise synapses they ...

The scientists found that aging weakens the connections between different parts of the brain, making it harder for neurons ...

The rate of development of poikilothermic animals, such as insects, fish, and reptiles, is determined by environmental temperature. A research team has recently demonstrated how temperature can affect ...

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain.
