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 complexity of the human brain is unparalleled. Fortunately, thanks to constant progress in neuroscience over the past decades, we have started to make some sense of the human brain. For instance, ...
Scientists disclose how mitochondria control tissue rejuvenation and synaptic plasticity in the adult mouse brain. Nerve cells (neurons) are amongst the most complex cell types in our body. They ...
Neural circuits are refined by experience with higher plasticity at younger ages. Non-neuronal brain cells, known as astrocytes, were previously seen as passive support cells, but recent research has ...
Young minds are easily molded. Each new experience rewires a child's brain circuitry, adding and removing synaptic connections between neurons. These wiring patterns become more stable with age, but ...
