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

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

Researchers from Kyushu University discovered a previously unrecognized synaptic "hotspot" that forms during adolescence, ...

Our study shows, for the first time, an optically acquired 3D image of dendritic spines in human brain tissues. These had not been possible due to the lack of compatible labeling and tissue-clearing ...

A study published in Science Advances led by researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois, now provides evidence that the preservation ...

In a recent study published in Science Advances, a group of researchers assessed whether dendritic spine head diameter in the temporal cortex is a better predictor of episodic memory performance in ...

The detailed mapping revealed an unexpected pattern. One specific section of the dendrite contained an unusually dense ...
