In the intricate networks of human and animal brains, decision-making is a highly complex process. While chemical synapses often take center stage, it appears they’re not the only stars of the show.

This study presents numerical results on a framework for understanding the dynamics of subthreshold waves in a network of electrical synapses modeled on the connectome data of the C elegans nematode.

Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary science that is concerned with the study of the structure and function of the nervous system. It encompasses the evolution, development, cellular and molecular ...

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. Both pre ...

“It would be interesting to investigate whether improving endolysosomal function, as we did in aged neurons, recovers synapses,” she wrote. Almeida found that restoring the acid pH of lysosomes ...
