A 2024 report in Current Biology

A 2024 report in Current Biology underscores the relationship between learning and a good night’s sleep, but from a different perspective: the changes in how brain cells are connected. Some synapses are in brain regions associated with learning and memory, and sleep deprivation hurts these synapses Theories explaining these connections have primarily been based on the belief that synapses are identical. However, Seth Grant, a neuroscientist at the University of Edinburgh, and his team and others have found that synapses are surprisingly diverse in structure, the composition of proteins in the neurons surrounding them, and the types of neurotransmitters they use to send signals. Grant and his team call the set of synapses the “synaptome.” สล็อต เว็บตรง
