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.

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 ...

Scientists discovered that the molecule CaMKII helps neurons encode information over seconds, a key process in learning. This ...

Development of neuronal circuits involves a period during which synaptic connectivity is dynamically refined to its adult functions in an activity-dependent manner. During this early development, ...

New research has identified a key step in how neurons encode information on timescales that match learning. New research from the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience published this week in ...

Learning takes seconds to minutes, yet the brain was previously thought to encode information around 1000 times faster. A new ...

Within Tibetan medicine, the medicinal herb Terminalia chebula (T. chebula) is well-known for its extensive therapeutic ...

The proposed DPAP model considers multiple biologically realistic mechanisms (such as dendritic spine dynamic plasticity, activitydependent neural spiking trace, and local synaptic plasticity), with ...
