Two major forms of synaptic plasticity, long-term potentiation ... both LTP and LTD can occur at the same synapse in response to different patterns of activation of NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate ...

These researchers have created an artificial synapse using water and salt, mimicking the biological processes of our brain. This innovative device offers a new perspective on computers inspired by ...

Researchers from Bonn and Japan have found that the sharing of proteins and calcium makes synaptic plasticity a collective ...

Until now, it was assumed that each synapse decides independently of the others how it changes A recent study suggests a new perspective on how neighboring synapses coordinate their response to ...

Illustrations showing the basic operation of NIST's artificial synapse, which could connect processors and store memories in future neuromorphic computers operating like the human brain.
