Researchers have developed a cutting-edge technique that uses RNA “barcodes” to map how neurons connect, capturing thousands ...
A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled.
Brains are an amazingly complicated organ and they have evolved to allow all sorts of animals to perform many different tasks ...
Scientists have uncovered a surprisingly large reserve of “silent synapses” in the adult brain—unused neural connections that can be rapidly activated to store new memories.
A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled.
Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively builds dense new clusters of synapses in specific parts of neurons. These ...
