Researchers have developed DELTA, a powerful new imaging method that maps brain-wide synaptic changes during learning.

Silent synapses are dormant neural connections that hold untapped brain potential. Discover how ketamine, exercise, and other ...

This destructive act is important for the developing brain. The microglia prune away weak or unwanted connections, allowing more productive ones to become stronger. Without this “synaptic pruning,” a ...

Neurons communicate with each other by passing millisecond-long signals across tiny junctions called synapses. Experiences ...

Despite this, the synapse is still able to orchestrate numerous, distinct functional pathways fundamental in larger-scale brain circuits and higher-order processing.
