How can we characterize the dynamics of neural networks with recurrent connections? How do the time-varying activities of populations of neurons represent things? How are synapse strengths ...

Unipolar neurons have one nerve process that acts as both an axon and a dendrite whereas bipolar neurons have both a single axon and a single dendrite. Multipolar neurons have a single axon and ...

Researchers have identified a unique mitochondrial process in CA2 neurons that supports learning, memory, and social ...

The human brain is a complex powerhouse, responsible for orchestrating thoughts, emotions, and memories. Its nerve cells require an immense amount of energy to function. This energy is critical for ...

The Synapse Diversity and Specificity Regulation Research Team at DGIST has profiled the molecular code that constitutes brain neural circuits and discovered that it regulates specific excitatory ...

By combining AI with holographic encryption, scientists have developed an ultra-secure data protection system. Their method ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers found that the neuronal energy conservation program determines the location and ...

Using eMAP researchers labeled protein components on both the presynaptic side (bassoon) and post-synaptic side (PSD-95) of an excitatory synapse in a mouse. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!
