According to a new study, epileptic patients brains send signals that create empty memories in the period of time between seizures and normalcy. Read More
According to a new mouse study, antibiotics that are strong enough to kill gut bacteria can also halt the growth of hippocampal neurons. Read More
A new study reports a protein made by astrocytes plays a critical role in brain plasticity by assisting with neural maturation and flexibility. Read More
Exercise may enhance brain plasticity, a new study reports. Read More
The work will be conducted on laboratory rats modelling Parkinson’s disease. The transplanted cells will be derived from skin from an adult human and will have been “reprogrammed” as nerve cells. The light-sensitive protein is obtained from a bacterium, which uses light to gain energy. Read More
The findings in fruit fly larvae demonstrate the first known function for the sensory neurons and provide insights that could broaden the understanding of chronic pain syndromes in humans. Read More
Monitoring the synapses of living mice, researchers discover an important genetic switch for brain maturation. Mice without the Nogo Receptor 1 gene have persistent levels of juvenile brain plasticity through adulthood. Read More
A new study reports researchers have discovered a new molecular target which is essential for neuroplasticity. Read More
New research could provide crucial information about how babies develop a sense of their physical selves. Read More
A new study reports mother rats who received hormone replacement therapy responded worse to memory and spatial learning tasks than those who had not given birth. Researchers suggest a woman's reproductive history could impact how the brain responds to hormones later in life. Read More
A pairing of presynaptic and postsynaptic activity in a population of hippocampal neurons can reduce the required number of synaptic plasticity evoking events. When spikes occur within ten milliseconds of each other, synapses strengthen for up to four hours. Read More
