Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...

Scientists uncover new synapse hotspots in the teen brain, challenging the old theory of synaptic pruning and its link to schizophrenia.

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...

An abstract image representing shared mechanisms. Two silhouettes are featured back-to-back with joint cog wheels in bright colors across their heads, representing the shared synaptic mechanism. A ...

This valuable study links psychological theories of chunking with a physiological implementation based on short-term synaptic plasticity and synaptic augmentation. The theoretical derivation for ...

A team from Tokyo University of Science has developed a solar cell-based computing device that mimics human synaptic behaviour to use in edge AI processing. The researchers say the device has the ...

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain’s neurons has a kind of ‘molecular memory’, which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories. The researchers have ...
