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

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

Learning is something everyone does daily—mastering new skills at work, remembering song lyrics, or following directions to new places. But behind these everyday tasks lies a complex biological ...

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

New research reveals that individual neurons follow multiple learning rules simultaneously, challenging the long-held belief that synaptic plasticity operates uniformly throughout the brain.

Learning triggers changes across trillions of synapses, where neurons communicate with each other. This process, known as ...

Neurons, unlike most other cell types ... plasticity differently across dendritic compartments. In apical dendrites, synapses were strengthened when they were coactive with nearby neighbors ...

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

Findings challenge the idea that neurons follow a single learning strategy and offer a new perspective on how the brain ...

The massive dataset from a new study is a step towards unravelling the mystery of how our brains work and could lead to ...

(THE CONVERSATION) Every day, people are constantly learning and forming new memories. When you pick up a new hobby, try a recipe a friend recommended or read the latest world news, your brain ...
