Scientists have uncovered a surprisingly large reserve of “silent synapses” in the adult brain—unused neural connections that can be rapidly activated to store new memories.

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 ...

A technical paper titled “3D Neuromorphic Hardware with Single Thin-Film Transistor Synapses Over Single Thin-Body Transistor Neurons by Monolithic Vertical Integration” was published by researchers ...

Schematic representation of axonal transport vesicles (blue) carrying presynaptic proteins (SV and AZ proteins). Kinesin motor proteins (KIF1A) attach these vesicles and carry them along the axons to ...

Your brain may possess greater abilities than you realise. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology conducted a study which discovered that adult brains contain millions of silent synapses ...

The laboratory of Ege Kavalali, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, published a paper in Nature Communications that determined that liquid-liquid phase separation plays a key role ...
