Learning is something everyone does daily—mastering new skills at work, remembering song lyrics, or following directions to new places. But behind these everyday tasks lies a complex biological ...

How do we learn new things? Neurobiologists using cutting-edge visualization techniques have revealed how changes across our synapses and neurons unfold. The findings depict how information is ...

In AD, synaptic plasticity, the brain's ability to regulate the strength of synaptic connections between neurons, is significantly disrupted. This worsens over time, reducing cognitive and memory ...

Your brain doesn t just send messages through one universal route it uses separate pathways for spontaneous activity and signals linked to learning. These findings overturn a major neuroscience ...

Cognitive tasks, such as learning and memory, require rapid changes to proteins at synapses, such as protein synthesis, degradation, and trafficking. How protein post-translational modifications ...

Shedding light on how the brain fine-tunes its wiring during learning, a new study finds that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow distinct rules. The findings challenge the idea ...

How do we learn something new? How do tasks at a new job, lyrics to the latest hit song, or directions to a friend’s house become encoded in our brains? The broad answer is that our brains undergo ...
