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 ...

Scientists have mapped the molecular structure of glutamate receptors in the cerebellum for the first time using cryo-electron microscopy.

Unlike other cellular sub-structures (for example, the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum), the synapse does ...

A new study led by researchers at Oregon Health & Science University has revealed the detailed structure of glutamate receptors in the cerebellum using cryo-electron microscopy.

UB researchers are taking inspiration from the human brain to develop computing architecture that can support the growing ...

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

New research shows that low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can restore key synaptic structures ...

Publication in the journal Nature reveals structure and conformation of key receptors in synapses of the brain's cerebellum A discovery ...

Inspired by nature, scientists created a self-powered device that recognizes color just like our eyes, paving the way for ...
