Scientists find hidden synapse hotspots in the teen brain: Study
Updated : 1 month, 3 weeks ago IST
The scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively builds dense new clusters of synapses in specific parts of neurons.

Researchers 'see' how the brain adapts to different situations using machi
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have created a technique that uses artificial intelligence to visualise and monitor changes in the strength of synapses, the junctions that allow nerve cells in the brain to communicate with one another, in living animals. The method, which is detailed

Study reveals adult brain contains millions of silent synapses
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
The adult brain contains millions of "silent synapses," which are immature connections between neurons that remain inactive until they are recruited to help form new memories, according to MIT neuroscientists.

Research sheds light on organs of innermost ear which sense head position
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Specialized synapses in our sensory organs enable us to walk, dance, and tilt our heads without experiencing vertigo or losing our balance. These synapses process messages more quickly than any other part of the human body.

Study suggests stem cells help determine new schizophrenia drugs
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Neurodegenerative and psychiatric illnesses can be brought on by inflammation and an overactive immune system in the brain, which results in the loss of synapses and the death of neurons.
