A new study, reported in Science, shows how two proteins that are known to be important for long-term plasticity are linked. According to the results, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA ...

Dr. Gina Turrigiano is the Joseph Levitan Professor of Vision Science in the Biology Department at Brandeis University, where she heads the Turrigiano Lab.

A renewed focus on engagement, some researchers say, is urgent and overdue. “When science is sidelined,” one said, “people ...

A new study reveals that the thalamus, long overshadowed by the cortex and hippocampus, plays a crucial role in shaping and ...

Scientists knew from earlier research that astrocytes could influence brain plasticity. In a previous experiment, transplanting astrocytes from young cats into the visual cortex of older cats ...

Synaptic plasticity is the basis of information storage in the brain. Two of the most studied forms of plasticity, long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), involve both ...

This underscores its crucial role in brain plasticity and the reorganization ... the Spaniah State Research Agency – Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities, the Severo Ochoa Program ...

Neuroscientists believe that synaptic plasticity, as these changes are called, plays an important role in storing memories. However, the rules governing when and how much synapses change are not ...
