Synaptic plasticity is the biological process by which specific patterns of synaptic activity result in changes in synaptic strength and is thought to contribute to learning and memory.

Neurobiologists discovered that individual neurons can apply different plasticity rules in separate dendritic branches. This ...

In an intricately coordinated process, new information causes certain synapses to get stronger with new data while others ...

Imagine waking up one day to discover that your brain is not the rigid, unchanging organ you once believed it to be, but a ...

An NIH-funded project leverages advanced synapse imaging to monitor real-time neuronal changes during learning, unveiling new ...

A UC San Diego study reveals that neurons adapt to new information through varying rules at synapses, challenging previous ...

This process of synaptic plasticity is what produces representations of new information and experiences within your brain. In order for your brain to produce the correct representations during ...

The mammalian brain is known to produce mental representations of the spatial environment, known as cognitive maps, that help ...

New research is revealing how specialized neurons give our brains an edge artificial intelligence can only dream of ...

A study has revealed that individual neurons use distinct rules across their dendritic compartments to strengthen synapses ...
