The brain's ability to adapt and form new neural connections allows it to recover from injury and maintain cognitive function into old age. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to adapt and ...

When we form a memory, brain cells need to deliver supplies to strengthen specific neural connections. A new study from MPFI and Weill Cornell Medicine has revealed how two cellular switches, Rab4 and ...

Our brains have an extraordinary ability to adapt and learn, a process known as neuroplasticity. From navigating a new city to mastering a new skill, neuroplasticity allows us to reshape our neural ...

Nervous system functions, from motion to perception to cognition, depend on the active zones of neural circuit connections (synapses) sending out the right amount of their chemical signals at the ...

The human brain stands as perhaps nature’s most extraordinary creation, constantly evolving throughout our lives in response to a complex interplay of biological and environmental influences. This ...

(Left) Network of the strongest connections among over 20,000 neurons in the fruit fly brain. (Right) Model of network formation. Some random connections are pruned, while other connections become ...
