Synaptic plasticity—a cellular mechanism whereby the strength of synaptic connections between neurons strengthens or weakens ...

Synaptic plasticity is the biological process by which specific patterns of synaptic activity result in changes in synaptic strength and is thought to contribute to learning and memory.

New research from the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience published this week in Nature has identified a key step ...

thereby enhancing the probability that synaptic plasticity will occur. This form of homeostasis, unlike classic synaptic scaling, produces qualitative as well as quantitative changes in synaptic ...

Unfortunately, there continues to be a very negative public view of ECT, partly due to its portrayal in the media.

We aim to understand the synaptic mechanisms that facilitate structural and functional plasticity in the developing circuits, focusing on glutamate-receptor mediated signaling in the hippocampus and ...

Recently, a new neural model of information encoding called behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity (BTSP) addressed this ...

The group focuses on studying the mechanisms guiding activity-dependent development of glutamatergic circuitry in the limbic system and in particular, the roles of ionotropic glutamate receptors in ...
