This capacity for cellular plasticity is critical for normal embryonic development, but when recapitulated in the adult it can give rise to, or contribute to, a variety of diseases. This is ...

This article was originally published with the title “ Plasticity in Sensory-Motor Systems ” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 213 No. 5 (November 1965), p. 84 doi:10.1038 ...

Thus, regulation of stomatal development is essential for formation of a leaf suitable for prevailing environmental conditions and it also impacts plants resource allocation, CO2 uptake and water loss ...

A study published in Cell Reports describes a new mechanism of brain plasticity, or how nerve connections change in response to external stimuli. The paper is titled "Focal clusters of peri ...

Brain plasticity — also called neuroplasticity — is an odd term for most people, with the word “plastic” causing images of Tupperware or Saran Wrap to pop into your head. However ...

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 ...

Falkai emphasizes. His current work on disturbed myelin plasticity aims to develop targeted treatments for specific patient subgroups. The impact of Prof. Falkai's research extends beyond the ...

The brain extracellular matrix plays a critical role in synaptic plasticity, including experience/adaptive-based changes in ...
