But the most exciting part is the prospect of using the plasticity of the young brain to help it recover, avoiding the toll this trauma can exact in adulthood." ...

What was of particular interest (in relation to the recovery of John Famechon) was the process of discovering what was involved in changing John’s brain and behaviour.

Normandie University researchers have identified critical links between the brain's inhibitory memory control mechanisms and resilience to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They examined how ...

Some well-respected research came out in the mid 2000’s that says trauma creates lasting changes in the brain. Include here all the range of traumas that you have ranked in your mind from ...

Understanding the role of the complex sugar molecules responsible for "brain plasticity” could also make it possible to repair neural circuits after injury.

The basic structure of the brain is established before birth by your genes. But its continued development relies heavily on a process called developmental plasticity, where developmental processes ...

Recent research conducted in mice suggests that daydreaming may help boost brain plasticity and improve memory consolidation.
