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 ...

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 ...

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

An NIH-funded project leverages advanced synapse imaging to monitor real-time neuronal changes during learning, unveiling new ...

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 ...

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 ...
