Chemical synapses are specialized junctions through which cells of the nervous system signal to one another and to non-neuronal cells such as muscles or glands. A chemical synapse between a motor ...

Glutamatergic synapses are generated without functional AMPA receptor-mediated transmission. These AMPA-silent synapses can become unsilenced either by inactivity or by correlated activity. AMPA ...

The nervous system is a complex collection of nerves and specialized cells known as neurons that transmit signals between different parts of the body. It is essentially the body's electrical wiring.

One of the greatest challenges facing artificial intelligence development is understanding the human brain and figuring out how to mimic it. Now, one group reports that they have developed an ...
