If you can get past the coining of yet another new word to talk about neural network designs, think about this: modeling the connectivity of Brains at the level of individual synapses can be a way to ...
A newly described technology improves the clarity and speed of using two-photon microscopy to image synapses in the live brain. The brain's ability to learn comes from "plasticity," in which neurons ...
The microscopic image shows a nerve cell and a magnified view of the investigated synapses. Calcium was released at these sites using a UV flash, which triggered the release of the neurotransmitter.
