An NIH-funded project leverages advanced synapse imaging to monitor real-time neuronal changes during learning, unveiling new ...

These electrical pulses are communicated with other neurons through connections between them called synapses. Individual ...

A study has revealed that individual neurons use distinct rules across their dendritic compartments to strengthen synapses ...

Learning is something everyone does daily—mastering new skills at work, remembering song lyrics, or following directions to ...

The brain learns due to neurons using multiple mechanisms to store knowledge according to a new study by researchers.

Learning triggers changes across trillions of synapses, where neurons communicate with each other. This process, known as ...

Findings challenge the idea that neurons follow a single learning strategy and offer a new perspective on how the brain learns and adapts behavior.

New research reveals that individual neurons follow multiple learning rules simultaneously, challenging the long-held belief that synaptic plasticity operates uniformly throughout the brain.

Neuroscientists have carefully studied how synapses only have access to their own “local” information, yet collectively they help shape broad new learned behaviors, a conundrum labeled as the “credit ...

Connections made via apical synapses seemed to be strengthened by movement information more than those made via basal ...

As you experience or encounter new things, your brain must encode this information via the right neural networks at the right ...
