Neural plasticity —akin to learning—occurs in both spinal neurons and autonomic neurons, [16-21] while other forms of cellular “memory” are found in non- neural cells of the heart, immune ...

Researchers show that a brain protein, termed cypin, modulates protein ubiquitination to regulate synaptic plasticity in neurons.

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 ...

Implantable bioelectronics are vital to neuroscience, neurological therapies, and brain-machine interfaces. They serve as indispensable interfaces that enable the communication between biological ...

Immersing stressed volunteers in a 360° virtual Douglas-fir forest complete with sights, sounds and scents boosted their mood, sharpened short-term memory and deepened their feeling of nature ...

The adult brain still carries stem cells that grow, divide, and eventually become new mature neurons.

First of all, there is an increased neural plasticity during childhood, and this condition is important for changes in synaptic function and for the organization of neuronal circuits associated ...

Neurodegenerative diseases cause progressive neuronal loss, with current treatments offering only limited symptomatic relief. To overcome this, various strategies are being explored. One promising ...

Having shown that N- terminal myristoylation is largely unaffected by synaptic plasticity, we sought to determine if lysine myristoylation could instead undergo change upon neuronal activation. Due to ...

BACKGROUND: Neuronal plasticity after stroke occurs predominantly within the first few months. However, its persistence and distribution in the chronic phase remain unclear. This study investigated ...
