Scientists have long known that the brain's visual system isn't fully hardwired from the start—it becomes refined by what ...

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

The plasticity of excitatory synapses is an essential brain process involved in cognitive functions, and dysfunctions of such adaptations have been linked to psychiatric disorders such as ...

Neurodevelopment is a highly coordinated process involving cell differentiation, neurite extension, axon guidance, and dendritic formation, forming the structural basis for cognitive function. Metal ...
