Plastic and thus modifiable neurons lose their function at old age, new research in fruit flies reveals.

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 ...

A new study shows that the widely used antidepressant fluoxetine does more than boost serotonin levels: it changes how brain cells manage their energy and rebuild their connections, potentially ...

Even though the terms brain plasticity and neuroplasticity are associated with late 20th- and now 21st-century scientific and medical thinking, the concept of brain plasticity has been known (although ...

In the application of his particular form of physical therapy, psychiatrist and author Norman Doidge (2015) wrote of the Feldenkrais Method: “Feldenkrais said he wanted not flexible bodies but ...

It says that the 4-th order tangent is not needed and that autodiff is used. Could you please provide some clarity on where this is implemented in the code?

This repository consists of HPC-ready code used for the simulations in the paper. The project aims to apply tetanic electrical current injection-like stimulation onto a recurrent neuron network, that ...

Learning is something everyone does daily—mastering new skills at work, remembering song lyrics, or following directions to new places. But behind these everyday tasks lies a complex biological ...

Shedding light on how the brain fine-tunes its wiring during learning, a new study finds that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow distinct rules. The findings challenge the idea ...

A recent article published in Nature examined plasticity to identify a balance between plasticity and buckling instability, termed "yield buckling." Image Credit: John_T/Shutterstock.com This approach ...
