In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...
New research for the first time reveals the function of a little-understood junction between cells in the brain that could have important treatment implications for conditions ranging from multiple ...
Shedding light on how the brain fine-tunes its wiring during learning, a new study finds that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow distinct rules. The findings challenge the idea ...

Every Neuron And Synapse Of A Fruit Fly’s Brain Have Been Mapped And Can Be Explored Digitally For The First Time Ever
Brains are an amazingly complicated organ and they have evolved to allow all sorts of animals to perform many different tasks ...
MIT neuroscientists have uncovered a surprising secret hidden in the adult brain: millions of “silent synapses,” dormant ...

By cutting selected synapses, brain circuit editing could make memory stronger and rewire how learning works
Every thought, memory, and feeling we experience depends on trillions of tiny connection points in the brain called synapses. These are the junctions where one neuron passes signals to another, ...
