Presented at IEDM 2016, Breakthrough Suggests Path to Embedding Neuromorphic Learning in Low-power Devices that Could Enable Autonomous Systems Leti researchers have demonstrated that memristive ...

Memory formation and maintenance fundamentally rely on intricate molecular processes that regulate synaptic strength. Central to this phenomenon is synaptic plasticity – the capacity of neural ...

The human brain is known to store various memories for long periods of time, progressively learning from new experiences and forming adaptive representations that ultimately guide decision-making and ...

Research in Focus is a series that highlights Neurobiology faculty members’ papers in peer-reviewed journals. Linda Overstreet-Wadiche, Ph.D., professor in the department of Neurobiology, and vice ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

Rather than holding information in specific areas of the brain, our memories are represented by the connections between neurons, called synapses. According to a recent study from the Salk Institute in ...

Glutamatergic synapses display variable strength and diverse short-term plasticity (STP), even for a given type of connection. Using nonnegative tensor factorization and conventional state modeling, ...

This review examines how GLP-1 receptor agonists may influence neurodegenerative disease biology through metabolic, ...

A team from the Institute of Neurosciences of the University of Barcelona (UBneuro) has discovered that early and sustained ...
