In a neural circuit, synapses transfer information rapidly between neurons and transform this
information during transfer. The diverse computational properties of synapses are shaped by …

Synapses are intercellular junctions specialized for fast, point-to-point information transfer
from a presynaptic neuron to a postsynaptic cell. At a synapse, a presynaptic terminal …

Synapses are specialized junctions between neurons in brain that transmit and compute
information, thereby connecting neurons into millions of overlap** and interdigitated …

In the brain, most synapses are formed on minute protrusions known as dendritic spines.
Unlike their artificial intelligence counterparts, spines are not merely tuneable memory …

The function of neuronal circuits relies on the properties of individual neuronal cells and
their synapses. We propose that a substantial degree of synapse formation and function is …

Animals respond to environmental threats, eg looming visual stimuli, with innate defensive
behaviors such as escape and freezing. The key neural circuits that participate in the …

Synapses are the site for brain communication where information is transmitted between
neurons and stored for memory formation. Synaptic degeneration is a global and early …

The expression of defensive responses to alerting sensory cues requires both general
arousal and a specific arousal state associated with defensive emotions. However, it …

The formation of mammalian synapses entails the precise alignment of presynaptic release
sites with postsynaptic receptors but how nascent cell–cell contacts translate into assembly …

Learning from experience depends at least in part on changes in neuronal connections. We
present the largest map of connectivity to date between cortical neurons of a defined type …
