In the cerebral cortex, numerous neurons exchange information through junctions known as synapses. The strength of each synaptic connection changes depending on the activity levels of the neurons ...

A growing body of neuroscience research is revealing that the brain’s ability to learn and its ability to move depend on the ...

This article discusses that applying principles from neuroscience, specifically neuroplasticity, can significantly enhance ...

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 ...

3D volume, generated manually by the authors in CONN, depicting the four frontoparietal seeds (left dlPFC, right dlPFC, left PPC, right PPC) as well as the right and left frontoparietal connectivity ...

A detail of a figure from the paper shows synapses formed between a neuron (above) and muscle (below) a narrow cleft. The distinct T-bar shape indicates an active zone. In the upper image, the synapse ...

New research indicates that the long-term neurological impact of childhood trauma is not permanently etched onto the brain.

Neurogenesis slows post-25, making the brain less adaptable. While childhood offers effortless learning, adulthood requires ...

Keeping our minds and bodies engaged is one of the most effective strategies for promoting well-being as we age. A holistic view of aging considers cognitive, physical, emotional and existential ...
