Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, by mapping cells in a ...

However, how the brain determines which synapses should be modified during learning and whether individual neurons apply the same plasticity rules uniformly across their structurally and ...

The human brain is a marvel of evolution, a three-pound universe of neurons and synapses that ... off age-related cognitive ...

But what determines which are the right neurons? According to Wright, this is the problem. “We [don’t] really understand how this process [gets] initiated at specific synapses and not others.” ...

Electronic neurons and synapses are the two fundamental building blocks of next-generation artificial neural networks. Unlike traditional computers, these systems process and store data in the ...

the researchers identified those neurons and traced how they communicated via branch-like fibers through a surprising 500 million junctions called synapses. "It definitely inspires a sense of awe ...

It captures exceptionally detailed images of synapses and the neurons they belong to, and enables the exact reconstruction of neural circuits. The process involved slicing a portion of the cortex ...

Columbia University researchers have discovered how variants of the ABCA7 gene, which are common among Black Americans ... brain synapses and the resilience of brain neurons.
