Neuroscientists have identified a novel form of neuroplasticity, behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity (BTSP), that enables the brain to encode memories from a single experience. The mechanism, ...
Learning is something everyone does daily—mastering new skills at work, remembering song lyrics, or following directions to new places. But behind these everyday tasks lies a complex biological ...
Neurons that fire together, wire together” is not the full story. A novel mechanism explains how the brain can learn across ...
Glutamate receptors, including AMPA and NMDA subtypes, are pivotal mediators of excitatory transmission and plasticity across the mammalian central nervous system. Their regulation, which involves ...

How does your brain create new memories? Neuroscientists discover ‘rules’ for how neurons encode new information
Every day, people are constantly learning and forming new memories. When you pick up a new hobby, try a recipe a friend recommended or read the latest world news, your brain stores many of these ...
How do we learn something new? How do tasks at a new job, lyrics to the latest hit song or directions to a friend's house become encoded in our brains? The broad answer is that our brains undergo ...
Research in Focus is a series that highlights Neurobiology faculty members’ papers in peer-reviewed journals. Linda Overstreet-Wadiche, Ph.D., professor in the department of Neurobiology, and vice ...
Synaptic Remodelling and Reactive Synaptogenesis In their studies, Kalat (1992) and Kimble (1992) found that when brain trauma is experienced (in addition to the collateral sprouting), the septal ...
