A new study on the detriments of too many synaptic connections in the mouse cerebellum by neuroscientists at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis corroborates previous human ...

Researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a large ...

Adolescence is widely thought to be a time when the brain trims away excess neural connections, refining circuits through synaptic pruning. New research now suggests this view may be incomplete.

In the cerebral cortex, numerous neurons exchange information through junctions known as synapses. The strength of each synaptic connection changes depending on the activity levels of the neurons ...

This mitochondrial process supports the brain cells essential to learning, memory and social recognition. We know that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, but what role do they play in ...
