For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of ...

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 ...

Memory formation and maintenance fundamentally rely on intricate molecular processes that regulate synaptic strength. Central to this phenomenon is synaptic plasticity – the capacity of neural ...

Neurons communicate with one another by synaptic connections, where information is exchanged from one neuron to its neighbor. These connections are not static, but are continuously modulated in ...

Presented at IEDM 2016, Breakthrough Suggests Path to Embedding Neuromorphic Learning in Low-power Devices that Could Enable Autonomous Systems Leti researchers have demonstrated that memristive ...

Dopamine plays a more complex and precise role in brain function than previously thought: it not only enhances neural ...

Neuroscientists say they have found a new function for the SYNGAP1 gene, a DNA sequence that controls memory and learning in mammals, including mice and humans. Johns Hopkins Medicine neuroscientists ...

A longevity-linked metabolite restored key memory processes in Alzheimer’s models, highlighting aging biology as a promising therapeutic target. Singapore ranks among the countries with the longest ...

Kanazawa University, have captured real-time images showing how a key brain enzyme organizes itself to help memory formation.

This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how gestational dexamethasone exposure impacts hippocampal excitatory synaptic transmission and learning and memory function ...

Neuron showing SynGAP (green) binding to PSD-95 at synapses. Johns Hopkins Medicine neuroscientists say they have found a new function for the SYNGAP1 gene, a DNA sequence that controls memory and ...
