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.

Researchers have identified a unique mitochondrial process in CA2 neurons that supports learning, memory, and social recognition.

Here we review these findings and put them into the context of synaptic plasticity, developing a scenario of successive events that may underlie the major forms of long-term potentiation (LTP ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

These adverse effects may be related to the fact that ethanol impairs the cellular and synaptic plasticity mechanisms, including adverse changes in neuronal morphology, spine architecture, neuronal ...

Here, we build a continuous attractor neural network with synaptic short-term plasticity (STP) to explore the neural mechanism of the serial position effect. Using a delay recall task, our model ...

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

Compared to synthetic drugs, natural plant extracts offer the advantages of being suitable for long-term consumption, having ...
