Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies.

A team of Harvard researchers have unveiled a way to map the molecular underpinnings of how learning and memories are formed, ...

The results demonstrate that model networks are more sensitive to perturbations in intrinsic conductances than in synaptic conductances, highlighting the critical role of intrinsic plasticity in ...

Furthermore, exposure to serotonin triggers a transition from short-term to long-term plasticity in the OECTs, mirroring the processes underlying synaptic memory formation. These findings open new ...

They focused on synaptic plasticity – the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken in response to activity – which is critical for encoding new information. A biological process where synapses ...

Neuroscientists who have closely studied these alterations, known as “synaptic plasticity,” have identified numerous molecular processes causing such plasticity. Yet an understanding of the “rules” ...
