How do we learn something new? How do tasks at a new job, lyrics to the latest hit song or directions to a friend's house become encoded in our brains? The broad answer is that our brains undergo ...

How do we learn new things? Neurobiologists using cutting-edge visualization techniques have revealed how changes across our synapses and neurons unfold. The findings depict how information is ...

In AD, synaptic plasticity, the brain's ability to regulate the strength of synaptic connections between neurons, is significantly disrupted. This worsens over time, reducing cognitive and memory ...

Cognitive tasks, such as learning and memory, require rapid changes to proteins at synapses, such as protein synthesis, degradation, and trafficking. How protein post-translational modifications ...

Your brain doesn t just send messages through one universal route it uses separate pathways for spontaneous activity and signals linked to learning. These findings overturn a major neuroscience ...

In a new study published in Nature Communications titled, “Modelling synaptic dysfunction in childhood dementia using human iPSC-derived cortical networks,” researchers from Flinders University in ...

Researchers have long sought to understand the biological mechanisms that underlie learning. We know that the brain creates links and networks among neurons as we learn and form memories. Synaptic ...

A new generation of compounds is being studied for its potential to support brain plasticity and adaptive change, potentially reshaping how mental health conditions are treated.

Every experience we have changes our brain, the way a ceramicist reshapes a slab of clay. Every corner we turn, every conversation we have, every shudder we feel causes cascading effects: Chemicals ...

In December of 1993, former World Boxing Champion John Famechon (who had sustained severe incapacitating brain injuries in August 1991) began a new, complex multi-movement therapy and rehabilitation ...
