During learning and development, the level of synaptic input received by cortical neurons may change dramatically. Given a limited range of possible firing rates, how do neurons maintain ...
Thus, regulation of stomatal development is essential for formation of a leaf suitable for prevailing environmental conditions and it also impacts plants resource allocation, CO2 uptake and water loss ...
This bioengineering breakthrough has found a way to make neurons grown in a dish react just like the real thing. "Neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in ...
A study published in Cell Reports describes a new mechanism of brain plasticity, or how nerve connections change in response to external stimuli. The paper is titled "Focal clusters of peri ...
