Astrocytes, not microglia, are responsible for constantly eliminating unnecessary and excessive adult synaptic connections in response to brain activity. Read More
Financial losses evoke neuroplasticity alterations to the auditory cortex, a new study reports. Read More
Free radicals help control cellular processes vital for neuroplasticity and neurogenesis in mice. Read More
Findings have implications for a better understanding of how brain plasticity occurs. Read More
Diet-induced changes to the reward system and innate differences may predispose mice to over-eating. Read More
Researchers discover how the brain adapts in a study of children born without a corpus callosum. Read More
Researchers recorded alterations in levels of both dopamine and serotonin in the brain when people perform perception and decision making based tasks. Read More
Obesity isn't just bad for physical health. Being overweight can have a significant impact on neurological health too. Researchers identified a link between obesity and reduced brain plasticity. Brain plasticity impairment could lead to cognitive and learning deficits in those suffering from obesity. Read More
People who were avid gamers during childhood performed better at working memory tasks, even if they no longer played than their non-gaming peers. Read More
