The Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network (BCPNN) is a spiking model of the cortex. The synaptic weights of BCPNN are organized as matrices. They require substantial synaptic storage and a ...

Scientists have discovered how a key protein helps maintain strong connections between brain cells that are crucial for ...

With synaptic redundancy, we infer the ability of an isolated post-synaptic neuron to reliably convey information encoded in the spike train from a pre-synaptic neuron.

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

Foveal sensitivity to the features of an imminent saccade target increases with the target’s conspicuity, supporting foveal prediction as a viable mechanism for maintaining visual continuity in ...

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 ...

New research shows that low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can restore key synaptic structures ...

Figure 2: Synaptic corelease of ATP and GABA. (a) Electrical stimulation of a DH neuron in the presence of BSCA induced an inward postsynaptic current (i) blocked by suramin (30 μM).

Long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic strength can be induced by synchronous pre- and post-synaptic activation, and a rise in postsynaptic calcium is essential for induction of LTP. Calcium can ...

Borderlands 4 pre-orders are now live. You can all breathe a sigh of relief; it's not $80 – just $70 – but you may end up spending more, as we've also received word about what the post-launch ...
