Johns Hopkins scientists have developed a method involving artificial intelligence to visualize and track changes in the strength of synapses -- the connection points through which nerve cells in the brain communicate -- in live animals. The technique, described in Nature Methods, should lead, the scientists say, to a better understanding of how such connections in human brains change with learning, aging, injury and disease.
