Whether picking up a small object like a pen or coordinating different body parts, the cerebellum in the brain performs essential functions for controlling our movement. Researchers investigated how a ...
Researchers headed by a team at the University of Texas at Dallas’ Center for Advanced Pain Studies (CAPS) have made a fundamental discovery about a key mechanism that enables nervous system ...

MIT just discovered 30% of the brain’s synapses are sitting silent — dormant wires waiting until the brain calls them in to learn something new
Researchers at MIT found that roughly a quarter to a third of all synapses in the adult mouse cortex are functionally silent, ...
Loss of synapses and synapse function sit at the heart of a number of diseases, not just neurodegenerative examples such as dementia and Parkinson's disease but also conditions such as diabetes. We do ...
Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas’ Center for Advanced Pain Studies (TX, USA) and their colleagues have made a fundamental discovery about a key mechanism that enables nervous system ...
Salk scientists develop new technique to measure synapse strength and plasticity, supporting new research on learning and memory and how these processes decline in aging and disease LA JOLLA (May 22, ...
A review highlighting recent advances in genetically encoded fluorescent tools for labeling and selectively manipulating synapses has been published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience. This innovative ...
Real neurons don't actually talk to each other with electrical spikes. For that, their synapses deploy vesicles filled with transmitters. Although there is clearly a relation between the spikes a ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Scientists have developed a new type of electronic component that demonstrates learning and memory functions like the human brain. The novel "photoferroelectric synapse" device, ...

MIT discovered 30% of the brain’s synapses are silent — dormant connections that sit waiting until the brain calls them in to learn something new
Your brain is carrying more spare wiring than anyone suspected. In a study that upended a long-standing assumption in ...
Synapse labeling strategies involve marking synaptic contact sites with different fluorescent proteins in the pre- and postsynaptic compartments. The interface between these contacts is also labeled, ...
