Synaptic plasticity—the brain's ability to modify the connections between neurons to support learning—is one of the neural ...

New research provides evidence that the brain’s ability to process signals and adapt to new information fluctuates ...

A new Genomic Press Interview with Prof. Dr. Paul Lucassen shares insights from his research spanning 30 years in which he ...

For the world’s leading neuroscientists, unlocking the brain’s capacity to stimulate neural plasticity has become something of a Holy Grail. That’s because improving plasticity is perhaps the most ...

Vertebrate lonesome kinase mediates a key interaction between neurons involved in injury-induced pain and helps explain ...

A new study from the Gandhi lab at the University of California, Irvine finds that transplantation of embryonic cortical interneurons into the adult visual cortex can reopen the critical period of ...

Human neuroplasticity—the brain's dynamic capability to rewire and adapt—has been a cornerstone to what makes and keeps us human. It grants us the agility to learn new languages, empathize with others ...

The early stages of Alzheimer's disease are thought to occur at the synapse, since synapse loss is associated with memory dysfunction. Evidence suggests that amyloid beta (Aβ) plays an important role ...
