Long-term forms of synaptic plasticity that may underlie learning and memory have been suggested to depend on changes in the number of synapses between presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons. Here we ...
CAMBRIDGE, MA -- When the brain forms memories or learns a new task, it encodes the new information by tuning connections between neurons. MIT neuroscientists have discovered a novel mechanism that ...
Many studies link tau to synaptic dysfunction and memory loss in Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. But how does tau do its dirty work? Most previous research focused on the harmful effects of ...
The neuron is the basic working unit of the brain, and recent studies are beginning to reveal how neurons perform the complex computations that underlie our behavior. The latest study by the National ...
