This bioengineering breakthrough has found a way to make neurons grown in a dish react just like the real thing. "Neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in ...

The field of neuroplasticity is increasingly exploring the non-neuronal components that shape synaptic, cellular, and circuit-level adaptation in the brain.

Plastic and thus modifiable neurons lose their function at old age, new research in fruit flies reveals. “Our results – together with data from the mammalian brain uncovered by other research groups – ...

A sensory map representing how the brain of a mouse embryo organizes facial sensations before birth. The colors indicate responses to stimuli in different areas of the snout. Aníbal-Martínez, M., et ...

An unprecedented increase in the number of older adults and consequent age-related cognitive declines may negatively contribute to an already overwhelmed healthcare system. Many older adults report ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...

In the application of his particular form of physical therapy, psychiatrist and author Norman Doidge (2015) wrote of the Feldenkrais Method: “Feldenkrais said he wanted not flexible bodies but ...

Forgoing sleep to watch one more episode of the latest show, to read one more chapter of a thrilling book, or even to pull an all-nighter, is not uncommon. But sleep deprivation can catch up to people ...
