The “missing link” helps adults grow new neurons—something long thought to end after childhood—and that discovery could lead ...

Scientists scanned the brains of people who took psilocybin, including a member of the research team. The scans showed how the drug disrupts key networks, potentially enhancing brain plasticity.

DOI: 10.1002/admt.202400894 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.

Brain plasticity is thought to underlie learning, memory and early childhood development. It's also how the brain revises its circuitry to help recover from a brain injury — or, in Mora's case ...

Learn the essential engineering concepts of stress and strain,fundamental principles used to analyze how materials respond to external forces. Learn how stress measures the internal forces per unit ...

About This Webinar Session 13 covers the motivation for characterizing the mechanics of plasticity using nanoindentation, and how to use contact mechanics to express the stresses that arise from ...
