Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal ...

CCN1 is a key factor for stabilizing brain circuits in adulthood, offering a therapeutic target for conditions, such as Alzheimer's and PTSD.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Neurons are important, but they are not everything. Indeed, it is "cartilage," in the form of clusters of extracellular matrix molecules called chondroitin sulfates, located in the outside nerve cells ...

The debate over adult neurogenesis may have just been won. New research out of the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden provides evidence of adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus, a finding that could ...

Optogenetic climbing fiber activation regulates experience-dependent plasticity in the primary somatosensory cortex of mice, suggesting a role of the olivo-cerebellum in instructive signaling across ...

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 ...

If you scroll through TikTok or Instagram long enough, you'll inevitably stumble across the line: "Your frontal lobe isn't fully developed yet." It's become neuroscience's go-to explanation for bad ...
