New research from the University of Chicago challenges long-held beliefs about how synaptic plasticity contributes to memory ...

Silent synapses are dormant neural connections that hold untapped brain potential. Discover how ketamine, exercise, and other ...

Experiences cause the strength of these connections to change—a process called synaptic plasticity, which underlies learning ...

Scientists are working on breaking the physical limits of what semiconductors can do, merging human brain neurons with ...

Researchers have developed DELTA, a powerful new imaging method that maps brain-wide synaptic changes during learning.

The role of the fast weights, δwi, is to transiently adjust neuronal output to suppress immediate errors – errors that can be predicted if y * changes slowly. The role of the slow weights, wi, is to ...

New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...

NUS researchers have demonstrated a single, standard silicon transistor can function like a biological neuron and synapse ...

A preclinical study from Northeastern University has revealed astonishing evidence that psilocybin – the psychedelic compound ...
