Researchers have identified a molecular mechanism which appears to be critical for the maturation of brain function, and may be used to restore plasticity in the aging brain.
Researchers have developed a mathematical equation which explains how equilibrium is achieved by two forms of synaptic plasticity during learning.
Researchers have devised a new mathematical model which helps explain how the brain's networks can learn new information while remaining stable.
Proteins which control the visual system development in young brains could also affect vulnerability to Alzheimer's disease in the aging brain, a new study reports.
