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

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

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have demonstrated that the strength of synaptic connections in the cerebral cortex ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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

This important study demonstrates the significance of incorporating biological constraints in training neural networks to develop models that make accurate predictions under novel conditions. By ...

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 ...

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 ...
