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

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

Using stem cells to advance understanding of neuron and synapse formation Neuroscientists have traditionally used rodent systems to study these synaptic connections in the brain. While that provides a ...

The Institute of Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) of Elche, leads, together with Keio University in Tokyo, a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

A team at Indiana University School of Medicine’s Stark Neurosciences Research Center has published findings showing that ...

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 ...
