Examining brain plasticity and its implications for development, aging, and brain injury recovery.

The phrase "neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in human brains, but neurons grown in a dish don't seem to follow these rules. Neurons that are cultured ...

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 ...

For most of the 20th century, the scientific consensus held that the adult brain was essentially fixed, unable to grow new ...

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 ...

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 ...

A collaborative initiative with American Nutraceutical Corp. advancing structured models of neural adaptation and ...

Researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute and Tufts University have engineered frog-cell constructs that autonomously assemble ...

Stress can reshape a leader’s brain and influence their performance under pressure. Here’s why some leaders thrive while others struggle.
