The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning systems has increased the demand for new hardware components that could speed up data analysis while consuming less power. As ...

Researchers show that a brain protein, termed cypin, modulates protein ubiquitination to regulate synaptic plasticity in neurons.

In AD, synaptic plasticity, the brain's ability to regulate the strength of synaptic connections between neurons, is significantly disrupted.

This suggested that synaptic plasticity in the prefrontal cortex might be enhanced. When Kozorovitskiy and her team examined individual neurons, they discovered just that.

This process, called synaptic plasticity, alters how information flows through your brain and is critical for learning, memory, and even injury recovery.

Our research provides a clearer understanding of how synapses are being modified during learning, with potentially important health implications since many diseases in the brain involve some form ...

The Lundbeck Foundation announces an international cohort of neuroscientists have collectively won the €1.3 million Brain Prize.

This receptor activation was critical for synaptic growth and strengthening during plasticity. However, where the IGF that activates the receptor was coming from was unknown.

The paper, titled "Focal clusters of peri-synaptic matrix contribute to activity-dependent plasticity and memory in mice," is authored by Gabriele Chelini, Hadi Mirzapourdelavar, Peter Durning ...

Nut-based breakfasts are becoming increasingly popular due to their brain-boosting benefits, especially in terms of improving synaptic plasticity ...
