For over a decade, neuroscientists have been trying to figure out how neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) and neuroplasticity (the malleability of neural circuits) work together to reshape how we ...

Alexander Betley and colleagues have pinpointed a specific brain circuit in mice that appears to set limits on how long the animals can run, tying endurance to neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus ...

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 ...

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 ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 4. The interplay between neural plasticity and learning is a vibrant and continually evolving field of study. It provides the ...

Building endurance isn't just about muscles, it's about the brain. A newly discovered neural circuit in the hypothalamus rewires itself after exercise to boost heart and muscle strength.

The research on learning and memory shows that learning is possible and memory can be enhanced across the lifespan, unless the brain is compromised by disease or injury, and even then there is more ...

A new interdisciplinary study by researchers from the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine and the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Technion ...

Breaking free from cigarettes doesn’t require willpower alone. The human brain possesses remarkable plasticity that allows for complete rewiring of smoking associations, transforming a deeply ...

(A) Schematic illustration of the DishBrain feedback loop, the simulated game environment, and electrode configurations. (B) A schematic illustration of the overall network construction framework. The ...

The various types of BoCI are illustrated. The various types of BoCIs are introduced, including planar and stereoelectrode-based methods. The former primarily relies on low-density or high-density ...
