Silent synapses are dormant neural connections that hold untapped brain potential. Discover how ketamine, exercise, and other ...

Excitatory synapses are located in confined chemical spaces called the dendritic spines. These are atypical femtoliter-order microdomains where the behavior of even single molecules may have ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have demonstrated that a single, standard silicon transistor, the ...

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.

Memristors, or “memory resistors,” are the leading candidate for replacing synapses in a neuromorphic (brain-like) computer.

The team led by Associate Professor Mario Lanza from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the College of ...

Cellular structure without a membrane: Researcher discusses how synapses use liquids to create functional separations by Lorena Infante Lara, Vanderbilt University ...

Researchers from the Department of Physics have managed to experimentally develop a new magnetic state: a magneto-ionic ...

Scientists are working on breaking the physical limits of what semiconductors can do, merging human brain neurons with ...

As animals experience new things, the connections between neurons, called synapses, strengthen or weaken in response to ...

New structural markers of memory storage uncovered by Scripps Research may pave the way for new treatments for memory loss.

The DELTA technique offers a brain-wide view of synaptic protein alterations, enhancing understanding of neuronal connections ...
