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 ...

The artificial intelligence community has long struggled with a fundamental challenge of making AI systems transparent and understandable. As large language models become increasingly powerful, ...

This useful study employs optogenetics, genetically-encoded dopamine and serotonin sensors, and patch-clamp electrophysiology to investigate modulations of neurotransmitter release between striatal ...

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 ...
