The brain really is an incredible organ, and neurons are the vital link between, well, everything. The brain is anything but set in stone; how we think, feel, reason, and understand the world changes ...

Neuroplasticity offers insights into enhancing cognitive function through targeted interventions, exploring tools, techniques, and ethical considerations.

Neuronal plasticity is a fundamental process in neuronal development and recovery from brain disorders. The Trophin lab focuses on the role of neurotrophic factors, particularly Brain-Derived ...

A new study reveals that the thalamus, long overshadowed by the cortex and hippocampus, plays a crucial role in shaping and ...

Furthermore, this study demonstrates that the reorganization of sensory maps does not rely on neuronal activity in ... its crucial role in brain plasticity and the reorganization of tactile ...

Instead, they saw that the activity was slightly different every time, and reasoned that these changes reflected synaptic plasticity. To understand what drives these constant changes in neuronal ...

Experiences cause the strength of these connections to change—a process called synaptic plasticity, which underlies learning and memory. But exactly where in the brain these changes occur during the ...

In 1898, Camillo Golgi, an eminent Italian physician and pathologist, published a landmark paper on the structure of “nervous cells.” In addition to the organelle that still bears his name, the Golgi ...

Instead, they saw that the activity was slightly different every time, and reasoned that these changes reflected synaptic plasticity. To understand what drives these constant changes in neuronal ...

The finely tuned protein targeting by palmitoylation aids neuronal development and synaptic plasticity. However, the molecular mechanisms of protein palmitoylation have long been elusive.

My objective is to understand how evolutionary pressure has resulted in neuronal complexity across biological scales ... We have shown that intrinsic excitability changes after induction of synaptic ...
