Connections made via apical synapses seemed to be strengthened by movement information more than those made via basal ...

Findings challenge the idea that neurons follow a single learning strategy and offer a new perspective on how the brain learns and adapts behavior.

As you experience or encounter new things, your brain must encode this information via the right neural networks at the right ...

The brain really is an incredible organ, and neurons are the vital link between, well, everything. The brain is anything but set in stone; how we think, feel, reason, and understand the world changes ...

The massive dataset from a new study is a step towards unravelling the mystery of how our brains work and could lead to ...

By influencing calcium homeostasis, local protein synthesis and the endoplasmic reticulum, a small protein called Rab10 emerges as a crucial cytoplasmic regulator of neuropeptide secretion.

along with more than three miles of microscopic wiring — axons and smaller dendrites — and 523 million synapses connecting ...

A revolutionary blueprint is emerging from a fragment of brain tissue, promising new insights into the mysteries of the human mind. At the heart of this innovation is NEURD—short for “NEURal ...

Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 ...

Scientists have long known those signals move from one neuron along fibers called axons and dendrites, using synapses to jump to the next neuron. But there’s less known about the networks of ...
