It now appears that neural nets may be the next frontier in the advance of computing technology as a whole. But what are ...

Brain ion channels have molecular memory, changing shape after repeated signals, affecting neurotransmitter release.

Researchers from the lab led by Prof. Joris De Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) have discovered an important clue to how connections ...

USC researchers developed genetically engineered tools that can selectively and reversibly dismantle excitatory or inhibitory synapses. This method allows scientists to break and restore specific ...

However, unraveling the complex details and architecture of the brain remains a seemingly impossible challenge, considering its billions of densely packed neurons, each linked to other cells via ...

LGICs create fast responses by allowing ion flow that excites or inhibits the postsynaptic neuron. Excitatory synapses promote ... helping decode how structure translates into function.

Wright compares the structure of a pyramidal neuron and its connections to a ... Connections made via apical synapses seemed to be strengthened by movement information more than those made via ...

Royalty-free licenses let you pay once to use copyrighted images and video clips in personal and commercial projects on an ongoing basis without requiring additional payments each time you use that ...

Strengths (1) A very detailed network model, with a large number of neurons, connections, synapses ... the neuron's functional properties at the network level. This paper aims to understand the ...

It is true that this olfactory structure doesn’t exist in our ... Gregory Jeffris: Actually, the number of synapses per neuron probably differs by no more than a factor of 10, perhaps partly ...
