Memory formation and maintenance fundamentally rely on intricate molecular processes that regulate synaptic strength. Central to this phenomenon is synaptic plasticity – the capacity of neural ...

Astrocytes use the MEGF10 receptor to prune synapses in the striatum, a process essential for dopamine-driven motor learning.

Presented at IEDM 2016, Breakthrough Suggests Path to Embedding Neuromorphic Learning in Low-power Devices that Could Enable Autonomous Systems Leti researchers have demonstrated that memristive ...

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

When we learn a new motor skill-whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking-the brain must reorganize the circuits that ...

Neuroscientists have long speculated that information storage would likely be more permanent if changes in synaptic strength were accompanied by some sort of morphological alteration in the brain, in ...
