Memory resides within a dense network of billions of neurons within the brain. We rely on synaptic plasticity—the strengthening and modulation of connections between these neurons—to ...

LICONN is the first technology beyond electron microscopy capable of reconstructing brain tissue with all the synaptic connections between neurons. It also opens up the possibility of visualizing ...

This overabundance of synaptic connections could disrupt normal communication pathways in the brain, potentially contributing to the behavioral and cognitive features seen in ASD. Under normal ...

To the relief of practically anybody who drives a car regularly, Japanese carmaker Subaru has brought back physical buttons and knobs for its 2026 Outback midsize SUV. It's yet another sign that ...

A new candidate may help. On March 31 in Nature Medicine, scientists led by Tony Wyss-Coray, Stanford University, California, report that the ratio of the two synaptic proteins, YWHAG and NPTX2, ...

"Zinc is like a volume knob in many parts of the brain," said ... it helps researchers advance their understanding of the roles synaptic zinc plays in health and disease, and how molecular ...

equates the essential mineral zinc to a volume knob in many parts of the brain, and recently led a study looking at the roles it plays in the organ’s function. “It’s basically a way to fine-tune ...

Abstract: In-memory computing (IMC) using synaptic crossbar arrays offers a promising pathway ... and dataset/network complexity and how such design knob impact DNN accuracy. Our results for ResNet-20 ...

The researchers analyzed data from 268 women in the Rush University Memory and Aging Project and found strong links between poor synaptic health and faster cognitive decline among women who ...

You have likely seen many newer mechanical keyboards have a knob, commonly located in one of the corners. This is what's known as a rotary encoder, but they're also commonly referred to as a media ...

Synaptic pruning is a crucial neurodevelopmental process through which the brain refines its neural circuitry by systematically eliminating excess or weak synaptic connections. During early ...
