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

Assuming each neuron has an average of 35 connections, that means our minds have at least 3,010,000,000 synapse connections. Even with just 2,000 neural cells, this is already a huge quantity of ...

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 ...

Guo-Xing Miao, Professor at the University of Waterloo, guides us through programmable iontronic neural networks ...

A study from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz found that fruit flies raised at lower temperatures develop more neural ...

Geckos injected with neural stem cells modified to block cartilage growth developed ... that could shed light on disorders such as autism that involve dysfunctional synapse formation.

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!

A new study reveals that pain and itch are processed by distinct neural circuits in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC).

How Neuroscience Helps Us Understand the Mind and Brain Just as computers are hard-wired with electrical connections, the brain is hard-wired with neural connections. These connections link ...
