New research provides evidence that synaptic NMDAR number and subunit composition are not static, but change dynamically in a cell- and synapse-specific ... that synaptic plasticity will occur.

Instead, a delayed and stochastic activation of CaMKII occurred tens of seconds after initiating BTSP. In addition, while the plasticity was happening at a specific synapse, CaMKII was active in a ...

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 ...

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

If so, their precision of plasticity is high. The Salk team applied concepts from information theory to analyze synapse pairs from a rat hippocampus—a part of the brain involved in learning and ...

In addition, while the plasticity was happening at a specific synapse, CaMKII was active in a much larger area of the neuron. The research revealed that CaMKII is an instructive signal for BTSP ...

Zhang, Jianwei Jiang, Han Kang, Guozheng Jiang, Chengkai and Lu, Fucong 2015. A new form of equivalent stress for combined axial–torsional loading considering the tension–compression asymmetry of ...

In addition, the research team said it has successfully implemented an experiment that realized synapse plasticity, which is the process of creating, storing, and deleting memories, such as long-term ...

This remarkable plasticity enables them to function both rapidly and effectively in a wide variety ... CTLs and NK cells kill by forming a stereotyped interface with their targets, known as a ...

The Pulse takes you behind the doors of operating rooms, into the lab with some of the world's foremost scientists, and back in time to explore life-changing innovations. The Pulse delivers ...

What you need to know After a period in beta, the latest version of Razer Synapse is now ready for prime time and available now. Razer Synapse 4 is a significant improvement on previous versions ...
