The human brain ages less than thought and in layers—at least in the area of the cerebral cortex responsible for the sense of ...

The laminin-411 protein is vital for the formation of the myelin membrane by oligodendrocytes, report researchers from Japan. Furthermore, the A4G47 peptide from the E8 region of laminin-411 was ...

Alzheimer’s disease damages myelin, but exactly what it does to this insulating material remains somewhat mysterious. In the June 13 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by Jaime Grutzendler at Yale ...

“My laboratory studies normal myelin plasticity. It's really important to me to study the basic science in parallel, studying normal processes of development and plasticity and the cancers that arise ...

Plasticity is key to the trainability of neural networks and has long been a focus in the field of brain-inspired research. Currently, neuromorphic networks primarily achieve plasticity through ...

Marathon runners experience reversible changes in their brain myelin. These findings indicate that myelin (a substance that surrounds the neurons) exhibits behavior that was previously unknown ...

Myelin plasticity is a very hot topic right now and node plasticity reflects myelin plasticity. this seems to be a circuit where perhaps plasticity is NOT occurring.

Study finds brain may break down own insulation for fuel during extreme endurance efforts like marathon running, with some reversible effects.

Key points Resilience relies on the brain’s ability to regulate emotion, adapt, and recover. Myelin plasticity helps speed up and stabilize resilient brain responses. Genes like FKBP5 and BDNF ...
