Researchers have developed a 3D model of synapses, and it is a form of imaging that explores more how cells communicate with each other that have massive applications in the medical industry. One of ...

MIT neuroscientists have discovered that the adult brain contains millions of “silent synapses” — immature connections between neurons that remain inactive until they’re recruited to help form new ...

Johns Hopkins scientists have developed a method involving artificial intelligence to visualize and track changes in the strength of synapses—the connection points through which nerve cells in the ...

Scientists have discovered millions of so-called silent synapses in the adult brain, immature links between neurons that are dormant until they are needed for the formation of new memories. It had ...

The hippocampus is one of the most fascinating brain regions. Associated with the formation of memories, it also helps us to navigate through the world without getting lost. Sensory cortices on the ...

By simply "sprinkling" this probe on top, active synapses will visibly light up so that researchers can clearly observe how living brain cells communicate—all within 10 seconds. This research gives us ...

New proteomics research is enabling scientists to decipher how neurotransmitter receptors behave and change as an organism develops. The new work could help scientists better understand the formation ...
