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

In contrast, plasticity in basal dendrites was linked to the neuron's overall output—strengthening or weakening depending on how synapse activity aligned with global action potential firing.

Neurons can also be categorized by their basic structure. Unipolar neurons have one ... They are the most common neuron found in mammalian bodies. Neuron Function Synapses Neural synapses are ...

Learning is something everyone does daily—mastering new skills at work, remembering song lyrics, or following directions to ...

We hope other researchers build on our work by continuing to investigate synaptic physiology at the intersection of structure ...

Synapses are the connection points where neurons establish contact with each other to transmit information. For this ...

The brain learns due to neurons using multiple mechanisms to store knowledge according to a new study by researchers.

Each neuron receives signals from both excitatory and inhibitory synapses. The interconnections ... neurons’ patterns of activation. Changes in structure and function take place at the level ...

Researchers found that up to 80% of excitatory synapses in the hippocampus—a critical structure for learning ... depression research and treatment. Neuron, 101(5), 774-778.

We specifically focus on the role of microglia and astrocytes in reorganization of synapses and neural circuits. We aim to reveal the underlying mechanisms by which the brain adapts to its environment ...
