To explore this, the team used an MCU-deletion mouse model and evaluated synaptic plasticity at different locations along neurons. They found that this disrupted the plasticity of synapses further ...

Researchers discover a mechanism that impairs synaptic plasticity in the brains of schizophrenia patients Date: September 5, 2024 Source: Tampere University Summary: A study mapped genes linked to ...

In AD, synaptic plasticity, the brain's ability to regulate the strength of synaptic connections between neurons, is significantly disrupted. This worsens over time, reducing cognitive and memory ...

They discovered that different branches of a neuron’s dendritic tree, the part of the cell that receives input, could follow different plasticity rules at the same time. This was unexpected, as ...

There are few scientific methods more elegantly simple than "just sprinkle it on top." Researchers at Tohoku University and Nagoya University developed a fluorescent probe that can quickly show ...

As the mice learned to complete the task, Vaidya, Li and their colleagues tracked the activity of place cells in the CA1 region of the animals' hippocampi, using a technique known as calcium ...
