Neuroscientists 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.
Washington [US], July 28 (ANI): Neuroscientists have investigated the reciprocal interactions between two brain regions that represent visual working memory in mice. The team found that communication between these two loci of working memory, parietal cortex and premotor cortex, was co-dependent on instantaneous timescales.
Washington [US], July 25 (ANI): Neuroscientists have gained new insight into how our brain evolved into a language-ready brain. Compared to chimpanzee brains, the pattern of connections of language areas in our brain has expanded more than previously thought.
Washington [US], September 25 (ANI): During a recent study, Neuroscientists discovered specific types of neurons within the memory centre of the brain that are responsible for acquiring new associative memories, which is the ability to remember relationships between unrelated items.
