We apply molecular, electrophysiological, imaging and behaviour approaches to study fluctuating brain activity - neural dynamics – and longer-term alterations in the nervous system – plasticity.

This finding provides new insights into neural plasticity and the brain's ability to adapt to structural changes. The study, conducted in collaboration with researchers from the Friedrich Miescher ...

These improvements are accompanied by altered brain activity measures and increases in prefrontal and temporal grey matter volume that translate into a more efficient and effective neural system ...

While memory linking is now a well-documented phenomenon, its neural underpinnings have not ... network of neurons with dendrites and localized plasticity, the model showed that localized ...

Mental stimulation that consists of cognitively challenging activities is a means to facilitate neural plasticity, which can increase cognitive reserve and result in maintained or improved ...
