Glutamate receptors, including AMPA and NMDA subtypes, are pivotal mediators of excitatory transmission and plasticity across the mammalian central nervous system. Their regulation, which involves ...

Shedding light on how the brain fine-tunes its wiring during learning, a new study finds that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow distinct rules. The findings challenge the idea ...

Synaptic pruning is a crucial neurodevelopmental process through which the brain refines its neural circuitry by systematically eliminating excess or weak synaptic connections. During early childhood ...
