Scientists at UC San Diego, have uncovered processes that explain how our brains record information, which could help boost new discoveries.

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

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

Researchers mapped 84,000 neurons in a mouse brain after it watched video clips. The 3D map links structure and activity.

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date — a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they fire ...

The team of scientists behind the project said the map of neuron wiring was so complex, it looked like a picture of a galaxy.

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

Relay interneurons: These interneurons have long axons and connect different neurons and regions of the brain. Interneurons have a multipolar structure that allows them to receive multiple signals and ...

Scripps Research scientists discovered that memory formation relies on complex neuron structures called multi-synaptic boutons, not more synapses ... an axon filled with vesicles that secrete these ...

can function like a biological neuron and synapse when operated in a specific, unconventional way. Led by Associate Professor Mario Lanza from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at ...
