The scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively builds dense new clusters of synapses in specific parts of neurons.
Researchers from Kyushu University discovered a previously unrecognized synaptic "hotspot" that forms during adolescence, ...
Research led by SUNY Downstate Medical Center has identified a brain receptor that appears to initiate adolescent synaptic pruning, a process believed necessary for learning, but one that appears to ...
The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...
Synaptic pruning is a developmental process where a large number of synaptic connections are selectively eliminated to increase the efficiency of synaptic transmission. This process involves ...
The first analysis of how synaptic proteins change during early development reveals differences between mice and marmosets but also what's different in individuals with autism spectrum disorders. The ...
