This study presents SynaptoGen, a differentiable extension of connectome models that links gene expression, protein-protein interaction probabilities, synaptic multiplicity, and synaptic weights, and ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Is curing Alzheimer’s an impossible challenge or can we get there? I was invited to attend brain surgery at the forefront of ...

Prof Brennan uses a surgical drill to remove a flap of skull. The exposed brain is pink, flushed with blood, and gently ...

Study finds ultrathin tubes connecting brain cells that transport Alzheimer's proteins. The network changes months before ...

Wolfram-like attention framing meets spiking networks: event-triggered, energy-thrifty AI that “wakes” to stimuli.

A missing brain molecule may be disrupting neural wiring in Down syndrome, according to new research. Replacing it in adult mice rewired brain circuits and improved brain flexibility, challenging the ...

Salk scientists discovered the protein CCN1—secreted by non-neuronal brain cells called astrocytes—stabilizes brain circuits in adulthood. The CCN1 pathway may be a powerful target for therapeutics ...

[Second place winner in the Synapse Storytelling Contest Fiction category.] ...

In an effort to teach self-management to students identified as impulsive, Meichenbaum found that he could help students control and manage their impulsive behaviors.

A research team led by Dr. Àlex Bayés, Head of the Molecular Physiology of the Synapse Group at the Institut de Recerca Sant Pau (IR Sant Pau), has achieved what for decades had been an elusive goal: ...

Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas’ Center for Advanced Pain Studies (TX, USA) and their colleagues have made a fundamental discovery about a key mechanism that enables nervous system ...
