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 ...

During learning and development, the level of synaptic input received by cortical neurons may change dramatically. Given a limited range of possible firing rates, how do neurons maintain ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Tohoku University scientists created lab-grown neural networks using microfluidic devices, mimicking natural brain activity ...

CO2 uptake and water loss. Our goal is to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying the stomatal developmental plasticity in seed plants.
