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

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 ...

Like vertebrates, sea slugs engage in simple forms of learning and memory, and they have provided valuable insights into synaptic plasticity. 1 Researchers cultured a bifurcated sensory neuron with ...

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 closely studying these alterations, known as “synaptic plasticity,” have identified numerous molecular processes causing such plasticity. However, an understanding of the rules ...

The three scientists each study different aspects of protein production in neurons in the context of synaptic plasticity. In his early work, Greenberg, a neuroscientist at Harvard Medical School, ...
