Researchers are uncovering how disrupted glutamatergic synapses drive diverse forms of intellectual disability, revealing new ...

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, identifying two molecules that must be present before synapses, the ...

Adolescence may be far more than a period of pruning away unused brain connections. New research suggests the teenage brain ...

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 ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory ...
