Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand ...

An interaction between two proteins points to a molecular basis for memory. But how do memories last when the molecules that ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

The research team found that different parts of the Dystroglycan protein are responsible for synapse development. The outer ...

The cerebrum, especially the cerebral cortex, has long been thought to be the important part of our brain. However, the cerbrum contains less than 20 percent of the neurons in our brain. Eighty ...

In CA1 pyramidal neurons with supralinear integration, stimulations on synapses clustered within a branch can cause more robust responses than on dispersed allocated synapses (Poirazi et al., 2003).
