When we’re young, our brains retain neuroplasticity as they grow and adapt, a useful attribute that slowly degrades as we age ...

The brain is known to develop gradually throughout the human lifespan, following a hierarchical pattern. First, it adapts to support basic functions, such as movement and sensory perception, then it ...

A team of researchers has discovered that the developing brain can reorganize its sensory maps when the sense of touch is affected. In a study published today in Nature Communications, the Development ...

Anxiety and depression disorders are pervasive mental health issues that affect millions globally, transcending age and ...

This dataset supports research on neuroplasticity and motor adaptation in motor learning and rehabilitation. It includes multimodal longitudinal data from 46 healthy adults performing motor imagery ...

Cortical network undergoes rewiring everyday due to learning and memory events. To investigate the trends of population adaptation in neocortex overtime, we record cellular activity of large-scale ...

Neuroplasticity allows the adult brain to rewrite its internal wiring. Daily habits dictate whether our brain structures grow stronger or decay. Physical exercise acts as a direct fuel source for ...

It appears that new cells compete to ‘win’ synapse connections away from old cells, which promotes network plasticity. Linda Overstreet-Wadiche, Ph.D. One goal in neurobiology is to understand how the ...

While probing the escape reflex in the fruit fly Drosophila, researchers at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz (JGU) and the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece, found that the ...

The evidence and concept of adult neurogenesis have been documented in the scientific literature since the 1960s, with research conducted by Altman (1962) and Altman and Das (1965). These studies have ...
