Rodent studies reveal how general anesthesia dampens high-frequency brain activity by weakening synapses.
Researchers report altering synaptic plasticity leads to a computational switch in a hippocampal synapse which turns the presynaptic neuron turns into “detonator” mode, causing it to fire more readily.
A new study reports researchers have discovered a critical molecule that regulates synaptic transmission.
A new study identifies a key factor in regulating information transmission during the early stages of auditory processing.
Researchers discover the mechanism and protein responsible for the creation of the giant Calyx of Held synapse in the brain's auditory system.
