The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...
New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...
The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.
Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...
Researchers are uncovering how disrupted glutamatergic synapses drive diverse forms of intellectual disability, revealing new ...
Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.
A researcher has developed a new model that provides a holistic view on how our brain manages to learn quickly and forms stable, long-lasting memories. Their study sheds light on the crucial role of ...
Adolescence marks an important transition not just socially and physically, but neurologically. During this period, higher cognitive ...
The scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively builds dense new clusters of synapses in specific parts of neurons.
