MIT discovers 30% of your brain’s synapses are 'silent' — dormant connections waiting until you need to learn something new
Picture every synapse in your brain as a phone line. About 70% of them are live, carrying signals right now. But according to ...
Instant synapse visualization with our fluorescence probe. A diagram showing that the fluorescent probe can visualize AMPA receptors on synapses by sprinkling. There are few scientific methods more ...
A new model of memory — and a little-heralded type of brain cell — might explain why the human brain has such a huge storage capacity, researchers reported in the journal PNAS in May. The study looks ...
In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...

Scientists create a tool to 'edit' brain functions and improve memory
The brain is often described as a dense forest of connections, and for years scientists have searched for ways to trim that ...
Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...
Scientists have created a new way to map how brain cells connect by assigning each neuron a unique molecular “barcode.” Using ...
Synaptic vesicles act as the brain’s chemical couriers, transporting neurotransmitters between cells. When a nerve impulse arrives, these vesicles fuse with the neuron’s membrane and release their ...
