Mashup Score: 9Silent synapses are abundant in the adult brain - 1 year(s) ago
MIT neuroscientists have discovered that the adult brain contains millions of “silent synapses”—immature connections between neurons that remain inactive until they’re recruited to help form new memories.

Mashup Score: 13Synaptic pruning through glial synapse engulfment upon motor learning - Nature Neuroscience - 1 year(s) ago
Using new phagocytosis reporter mice and 3D ultrastructural characterization, Morizawa et al. show that motor learning induces synaptic engulfment by BG, which contributes to synaptic pruning during the improvement of motor adaptation.

Mashup Score: 0Kinesin-3 mediated axonal delivery of presynaptic neurexin stabilizes dendritic spines and postsynaptic components - 2 year(s) ago
Author summary The nervous system is composed of networks of interconnecting cells called neurons. Within these networks, individual neurons establish connections or synapses with partnering neurons. Key connections within these networks must be stabilized and preserved throughout the lifetime of an animal in order for the nervous system to function properly. Alterations in synapse connectivity…

Mashup Score: 21Team shows that electrical synapses occur throughout brain, can influence individual nerve cells - 2 year(s) ago
Electrical synapses are omnipresent and yet hardly explored. They are part of the brain of almost every animal species, yet they remain usually invisible even under the electron microscope.

Mashup Score: 11Call-and-response circuit tells neurons when to grow synapses - 3 year(s) ago
Brain cells called astrocytes play a key role in helping neurons develop and function properly, but there’s still a lot scientists don’t understand about how astrocytes perform these important jobs. Now, a team of scientists led by Associate Professor Nicola Allen of The Salk Institute For Biological Studies has found one way that neurons and astrocytes work together to form healthy connections…
