MIT discovers 30% of your brain’s synapses are 'silent' — dormant connections that sit waiting until you need to learn something new
Every second you are awake, billions of synapses in your brain fire signals that let you think, move, and remember. But ...
Electrical synapses that carry messages through the brain have been artificially engineered in mammals for the first time, altering their behaviour. This could have potential for preventing or ...
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 ...
As you read these words, billions upon billions of electrical impulses are flying through your brain. In a complex symphony of activity all those impulses are somehow encoding your thoughts, feelings, ...
Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...
A team of experimental neurobiologists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and theoretical biologists at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin has managed to solve a mystery that has been baffling ...
New Haven, Conn. — Scientists at Yale and the University of Connecticut have taken a major step in understanding how animal brains make decisions, revealing a crucial role for electrical synapses in ...

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 ...
