MIT discovered 30% of the brain’s synapses are silent — dormant connections that sit waiting until the brain calls them in to learn something new
Your brain is carrying more spare wiring than anyone suspected. In a study that upended a long-standing assumption in ...
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 ...
Neurodegenerative diseases rank among the most profound tragedies of the human condition, capable in various forms of robbing the afflicted of a lifetime of memories, basic comprehension, sense of ...
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 ...
A team of experimental neurobiologists and theoretical biologists has managed to solve a mystery that has been baffling scientists for decades. They have been able to determine the nature of the ...
A research team led by Dr. Àlex Bayés, Head of the Molecular Physiology of the Synapse Group at the Institut de Recerca Sant Pau (IR Sant Pau), has achieved what for decades had been an elusive goal: ...
