This valuable manuscript addresses the longstanding question of how the brain maintains serial order in working memory, proposing a biologically grounded model based on synaptic augmentation ...

Characterization of intracellular synapse heterogeneity aides to understand the intricate computational logic of neuronal circuits. Despite recent advances in connectomics, the spatial patterns of ...

By just sprinkling it on top and waiting 10 seconds, researchers can use this new fluorescent probe to clearly show synapses, the connection points between brain cells.

How hippocampal place cells and synaptic plasticity contribute to the progressive acquisition of memories by Ingrid Fadelli, Phys.org ...

Synaptic long-term potentiation (LTP) involves generation of myristic acid from synaptic membrane phospholipids via the activity of the phospholipase A1 DDHD2. This work shows that myristic acid ...

Plasticity is key to the trainability of neural networks and has long been a focus in the field of brain-inspired research. Currently, neuromorphic networks primarily achieve plasticity through ...

Synaptic plasticity plays a critical role in the expression power of brain neural networks. Among diverse plasticity rules, synaptic scaling presents indispensable effects on homeostasis maintenance ...

Synaptic and intrinsic forms of homeostatic plasticity adjust different aspects of neuronal excitability to preserve circuit excitation–inhibition balance; here, we show that they sense distinct ...

Discover the science behind neuroplasticity and how your brain can rewire itself for learning. Here are some tips and tricks.

The researchers claim LICONN is the first technology beyond electron microscopy (EM) that is capable of reconstructing brain tissue with all the synaptic connections between neurons.

Our research provides a clearer understanding of how synapses are being modified during learning, with potentially important health implications since many diseases in the brain involve some form ...

Other rules of synaptic plasticity appear to have a bigger effect and better explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in the brain.
