MIT discovered 30% of the brain’s synapses are silent — dormant connections that sit waiting until the brain calls them in to learn something new
Your brain is carrying more spare wiring than anyone suspected. In a study that upended a long-standing assumption in ...
In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...
Co-written with Jai Liester. Silent synapses represent one of neuroscience's most fascinating discoveries—connections between neurons that lie dormant until activated by specific triggers. These ...

Photon-driven synapse advances low-power neuromorphic systems
Modern artificial intelligence systems rely on moving large amounts of data between memory and processors, a design that ...
The microscopic image shows a nerve cell and a magnified view of the investigated synapses. Calcium was released at these sites using a UV flash, which triggered the release of the neurotransmitter.
Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights ...
