a protein that spans the cell membrane and matches up axons with dendrites to form synapses in the developing brain.

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

A biphasic structural plasticity rule interacts with homeostatic synaptic scaling to maintain firing rate homeostasis in neural networks.

At hippocampal mossy fibre synapses, depolarization-induced facilitation of vesicle release occurs via a cAMP-dependent increase in coupling between Ca2+ channels and vesicle release machinery.
