Given their non-migratory nature within the mineralized matrix, their unique dendrites are crucial for cell-to-cell communication in response to both intracellular and extracellular stimuli, such as ...

The researchers believe that these simulations will improve as new data on fly neuron biophysics, such as inhibitory synapse properties, become available. Data acquisition through electron microscopy ...

Results of plasticity simulations were compared to electron microscopy data and a predicted motif effect on synapse strength was confirmed. "We have long known that brain networks are complex and ...

The hippocampus is one of the most fascinating brain regions. Associated with the formation of memories, it also helps us to ...

Researchers have developed the most detailed 3D computational models of key brain regions, including the hippocampus and ...

Resembling a seahorse, as its name implies from the Greek words 'hippos' (horse) and 'kampus' (sea monster), the hippocampus is a brain region crucial for memory formation. But until recently, ...

A study from ISTA and Max Planck Institute reveals how hippocampal mossy fiber synapses encode memory. Using live brain ...
