Brain researchers have identified a bridge between the thalamus and the cortex as the key area that is modified during motor learning functions. They found that such learning does much more than ...

A group of Democratic senators is demanding that the Federal Reserve release records it has related to the failure of Synapse, a fintech firm that collapsed last year and left thousands of people ...

The Central California bankruptcy court handling the bankruptcy of Synapse, a defunct middleware provider, has granted a motion for a claimant to examine Evolve Bank & Trust, one of Synapse's partner ...

When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world, and it’s made possible by synapses, tiny junctions dotting ...

Credit: Komiyama Lab, UC San Diego An NIH-funded project leverages advanced synapse imaging to monitor real-time neuronal changes during learning, unveiling new insights that could inspire ...

Sophisticated synapse imaging used in NIH-funded project tracks changes within neurons as learning unfolds, offering new insights for brain-like AI systems How do we learn something new? How do tasks ...

According to Wright, this is the problem. “We [don’t] really understand how this process [gets] initiated at specific synapses and not others.” To look for patterns in learning-related ...

These electrical pulses are communicated with other neurons through connections between them called synapses. Individual neurons have branching extensions known as dendrites that can receive ...

However, how the brain determines which synapses should be modified during learning and whether individual neurons apply the same plasticity rules uniformly across their structurally and ...
