In the cerebral cortex, numerous neurons exchange information through junctions known as synapses. The strength of each synaptic connection changes depending on the activity levels of the neurons ...

Neurobiologists at the University of California San Diego have identified new mechanisms by which individual neurons in the brain adjust their connections during learning. Using high-resolution ...

Artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and automation tools need resources, data and humans in the loop to make them the robust wells of knowledge they are today. For autonomous vehicles to recognize ...

Every day, our brains adapt and learn, whether it's mastering a new skill or recalling a familiar tune. Central to this adaptability is synaptic plasticity—the process by which synapses, the ...
