The hippocampus follows a "tabula plena" model, starting with dense, random connections that are pruned into an efficient ...

Neuroplasticity and development have traditionally focused on synaptic mechanisms as the primary substrates of circuit remodeling. However, recent advances ...

Recent technological advances facilitate the reconstruction of complete brain connectomes in small organisms and partial connectomes in mammals, involving the mapping of the network of neurons and ...

For much of modern history, the brain was seen as largely fixed by the end of childhood. Intelligence, personality, and ability were believed to follow a mostly predetermined biological path.

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the brain developed during childhood, settled into a stable form in early ...

This image shows densely accumulated dendritic spines. Researchers from Kyushu University discovered a previously unrecognized synaptic “hotspot” that forms during adolescence, challenging the ...

Neurodegenerative disorders, most notably Alzheimer’s disease (AD), are marked by progressive cognitive decline and widespread neuronal loss. A growing body of evidence indicates that synaptic ...

Ritwik is a passionate gamer who has a soft spot for JRPGs. He's been writing about all things gaming for six years and counting. No matter how great a title's gameplay may be, there's always the ...

Abstract: Artificial synapse with bidirectional inhibitory plasticity is critical for neuromorphic engineering. However, conventional synaptic devices, such as memristors and transistors, typically ...
