MIT discovered 30% of the brain’s synapses are silent — dormant connections that sit waiting until the brain calls them in to learn something new
Your brain is carrying more spare wiring than anyone suspected. In a study that upended a long-standing assumption in ...
A multi-disciplinary team has found that depriving lab mice of sleep can lead to a reduction in synapse diversity in the brain. In their study, published on the open-access site Current Biology, the ...
In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...
Co-written with Jai Liester. Silent synapses represent one of neuroscience's most fascinating discoveries—connections between neurons that lie dormant until activated by specific triggers. These ...
New research for the first time reveals the function of a little-understood junction between cells in the brain that could have important treatment implications for conditions ranging from multiple ...
A team of physicists from Utrecht University in the Netherlands and Sogang University in South Korea have built an artificial synapse, the biological foundation of the human brain's ability to think ...
A new study found two recurring brain connectivity patterns in autism. One was linked to synapses and the other to immune ...

MIT just discovered 30% of the brain’s synapses are sitting silent — dormant wires waiting until the brain calls them in to learn something new
Researchers at MIT found that roughly a quarter to a third of all synapses in the adult mouse cortex are functionally silent, ...
