The post Every Neuron And Synapse Of A Fruit Fly’s Brain Have Been Mapped And Can Be Explored Digitally For The First Time ...

Characterization of intracellular synapse heterogeneity aides to understand the intricate computational logic of neuronal circuits. Despite recent advances in connectomics, the spatial patterns of ...

When the vesicle fuses with the neuron's membrane to release neurotransmitters into the synapse, some of these antibodies enter the emptying vesicle and hook themselves in.

A new study from the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory in the Feb. 4 online edition of Neuron sheds light on the innate plasticity of the adult brain at its most fundamental level—the ...

New images capture unseen details of the synapse Date: June 14, 2023 Source: University of Rochester Medical Center Summary: Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D images of the ...

The axon of one neuron, a dendrite of another, and the gap between them are collectively called a synapse. LTP is the idea that synapses that are used often grow strong. That is learning.

Yale researchers used light to probe the actions of the neurotransmitter GABA on single synapses along the branches of a neuron. The work, appearing in the May 10 issue of the journal Science, ...

A new study published in Science has found that neurons in the brain do not follow a single strategy when learning. Instead, different parts of the same neuron—its upper and lower branches ...

Synapses are gaps between neurons that facilitate the transfer of information. When a neuron receives repeated inputs, its synapse undergoes structural changes that make it easier for the neuron ...
