When it comes to training neural circuits for tissue engineering or biomedical applications, a new study suggests a key parameter: Train them young. "It's like an old dog learning new tricks versus a ...

When we learn a new motor skill—whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking—the brain must reorganize the circuits that control movement. For decades, this process of synaptic ...

A technical paper titled “Neuromorphic analog circuits for robust on-chip always-on learning in spiking neural networks” was published by researchers at Institute of Neuroinformatics, University of ...

After five to ten years on levodopa, the gold-standard drug for Parkinson’s disease, up to 80 percent of patients develop a cruel trade-off: the medication that restores their ability to move also ...

Astrocyte-mediated synapse elimination was significantly increased after motor learning. This learning-associated increase was not observed in astrocyte-specific Megf10 knockout mice. In addition, ...
