Glutamate receptors, including AMPA and NMDA subtypes, are pivotal mediators of excitatory transmission and plasticity across the mammalian central nervous system. Their regulation, which involves ...
New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...
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 ...
Two poster presentations at ACNP highlight new research on the fundamental biology of molecules targeting synaptic function in CNS disease Insights advance translational model supporting Gate’s lead ...
Scientists disclose how mitochondria control tissue rejuvenation and synaptic plasticity in the adult mouse brain. Nerve cells (neurons) are amongst the most complex cell types in our body. They ...
This mitochondrial process supports the brain cells essential to learning, memory and social recognition. We know that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, but what role do they play in ...
As animals experience new things, the connections between neurons, called synapses, strengthen or weaken in response to events and the activity they cause in the brain. Neuroscientists believe that ...
