Neurogenetic disorders, such as neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), are diseases caused by a defect in one or more genes, which can sometimes result in cognitive and motor impairments. Better ...

(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 ...

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 ...

When it comes to learning, it’s not age but our brain’s plasticity that determines our lifelong learning curve. The ability to learn is closely tied to the brain’s development and its inherent ...

Although the effects of genes and mutations in diseased and normal states can be studied with technologies like single-cell and RNA sequencing, crucial information is missing about the location and ...

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 ...

Neural circuits are refined by experience with higher plasticity at younger ages. Non-neuronal brain cells, known as astrocytes, were previously seen as passive support cells, but recent research has ...

The term psychoplastogen refers to a class of small molecules that can rapidly induce structural and functional neural plasticity. Plasticity refers to the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by ...

Our brains have an extraordinary ability to adapt and learn, a process known as neuroplasticity. From navigating a new city to mastering a new skill, neuroplasticity allows us to reshape our neural ...
