The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind for life. Adolescence is a major turning point not only for social and ...

Adolescence marks an important transition not just socially and physically, but neurologically. During this period, higher cognitive ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

Researchers identify specific psychosocial factors that strongly correlate with altered brain development within the first ...

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

To study how a key chemical neuromodulator affects signaling in the brain's cortex, Garrett Neske, PhD, has received a three-year, $300,000 grant from the Whitehall Foundation, a nonprofit ...

A research team from the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Lanzhou University has obtained ...

Last year, I found I rather liked Dry January, the unexpected legacy of a British woman who first gave up drinking for a ...

Abstract: An implementation method of a capacitive ternary neural network (TNN) is proposed, utilizing two-metal-ferroelectric-metal capacitors (FeCaps) per synapse. Unlike conventional one-FeCap ...
