For decades, scientists have looked to light as a way to speed up computing. Photonic neural networks—systems that use light ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

There are few scientific methods more elegantly simple than "just sprinkle it on top." Researchers at Tohoku University and ...

Synaptic plasticity is the biological process by which specific patterns of synaptic activity result in changes in synaptic strength and is thought to contribute to learning and memory. Both pre ...
