Researchers have developed a 3D model of synapses, and it is a form of imaging that explores more how cells communicate with each other that have massive applications in the medical industry. One of ...

Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas' Center for Advanced Pain Studies (CAPS) and their colleagues have made a ...

Johns Hopkins scientists have developed a method involving artificial intelligence to visualize and track changes in the strength of synapses—the connection points through which nerve cells in the ...

Cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) develops when neurons begin to die, which can be caused by inappropriate immune responses and excessive inflammation in the brain triggered ...

To solve the mysteries of how learning and memory occur, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists have created a system to track millions of connections among brain cells in mice — all at the same time — ...

Co-written with Jai Liester. Silent synapses represent one of neuroscience's most fascinating discoveries—connections between neurons that lie dormant until activated by specific triggers. These ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 118, No. 23 (June 8, 2021), pp. 1-12 (12 pages) The construction and maturation of the postsynaptic apparatus are ...

Scientists have discovered millions of so-called silent synapses in the adult brain, immature links between neurons that are dormant until they are needed for the formation of new memories. It had ...

MIT neuroscientists have discovered that the adult brain contains millions of “silent synapses” — immature connections between neurons that remain inactive until they’re recruited to help form new ...
