A renewed focus on engagement, some researchers say, is urgent and overdue. “When science is sidelined,” one said, “people ...

Neuroscientists believe that synaptic plasticity, as these changes are called, plays an important role in storing memories. However, the rules governing when and how much synapses change are not well ...

Vanishing White Matter Disease (VWMD) affects brain function due to reduced eIF2B activity. New research uncovers how cells ...

Researchers have developed DELTA, a powerful new imaging method that maps brain-wide synaptic changes during learning.

Neurons communicate with each other by passing millisecond-long signals across tiny junctions called synapses. Experiences ...

New research from the University of Chicago challenges long-held beliefs about how synaptic plasticity contributes to memory ...

Super-Turing AI operates more like the human brain and with much less energy. This new AI integrates certain processes ...

The poster presented data from AUTX-703, a potent, selective and orally bioavailable heterobifunctional degrader of KAT2A/B, an AURIGIN-identified histone acetyltransferase driving small cell lung ...

This capacity for cellular plasticity is critical for normal embryonic development, but when recapitulated in the adult it can give rise to, or contribute to, a variety of diseases. This is ...

The role of the fast weights, δwi, is to transiently adjust neuronal output to suppress immediate errors – errors that can be predicted if y * changes slowly. The role of the slow weights, wi, is to ...

New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...
