New research reveals how synaptic connections in the cerebral cortex can strengthen during sleep, offering insight into how ...

A key feature that appears to facilitate neuroplasticity is the distinct nature of neurons compared to other cells.

The sweet potato is one food that is a brain-favourite, and it harbours many properties that aid the stimulation and ...

Saffron shows promise as a natural treatment for depression and cognitive decline, performing as well as standard drugs in ...

but the plasticity of neurons – their ability to change their connections with each other – seems to play a major role. Memories are physically stored in your brain. Research on neuronal ensembles has ...

Investigating tirzepatide's role in Alzheimer's reveals its potential to improve brain function and reduce inflammation, ...

Fos, are integral to the brain's response to stimuli. Initially identified as a proto-oncogene, c-Fos is essential for neural activity, synaptic plasticity, and stress responses. While its transient ...

Degenerative diseases are one of the great battlefields for scientists, which, along with different types of cancer, are responsible for the greatest number of unnatural deaths in ...

This study provides important findings on the neural circuits underlying dishabituation of the olfactory avoidance response in Drosophila. The data as presented provide solid evidence that the ...

A new study by Pitt researchers challenges a decades-old assumption in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses distinct transmission sites—not a shared site—to achieve different types of ...
