Research Hit: How Your Silent Synapses Boost Brain Power

There are different types of dark matter in the brain. Matter that is often little researched or unknown to different population groups. I have written previously about glial cells and their contribution to just about everything, something neuroscientists know a lot about, to electrical neurons, that have been vastly under researched.

But now some researchers have made some discoveries in another area, and that is that of silent synapses.
