The brain's ability to learn comes from "plasticity," in which neurons constantly edit and remodel the tiny connections called synapses that they make with other neurons to form circuits. To study ...
The research group led by Professor Sense Jan van der Molen uses a microscope that reveals how a brain structure is built. It can do so down to the level of a synapse, the tiny junction through which ...
The Synapse Diversity and Specificity Regulation Research Team (Director: Jaewon Ko) at DGIST (President Kunwoo Lee) reported on Tuesday the 27 th that they have profiled the molecular code that ...
(a) Schematic diagram of a biological neural network and (b) circuit schematic of an artificial neural network implemented in hardware using an artificial neuromorphic device. (c) Experimental results ...
Co-written with Jai Liester. Silent synapses represent one of neuroscience's most fascinating discoveries—connections between neurons that lie dormant until activated by specific triggers. These ...
Memory resistors, or memristors for short, are a unique form of circuitry that resemble the neural pathways of the human brain and improve as additional current that passes through them, much like the ...
A newly described technology improves the clarity and speed of using two-photon microscopy to image synapses in the live brain. The brain's ability to learn comes from "plasticity," in which neurons ...
