Neuronal plasticity, or neuroplasticity, is the biological process by which the brain reorganizes its synapses in response to stimuli. The brain always aims to optimize its functioning, and ...

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

Behavioural learning is accompanied by loss and gain of synapses, which is thought to be the mechanism by which circuits are altered and 'memory traces' established. Recent research, reviewed here ...

The learning and remembering of fearful events depends on the integrity of the amygdala, but how are fear memories represented in the activity of amygdala neurons? Here, we review recent ...

Learning through repetition. In daily life, people learn through practice and repetition, which is possible by a brain process called neuronal plasticity.

Changing clocks, changing seasons: Scientists find role for neuronal plasticity. ScienceDaily . Retrieved May 8, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2015 / 07 / 150730121036.htm ...

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

The pharmacological reinforcement of neuronal plasticity to promote “unlearning” is therefore a new therapeutic approach. Ginkgo ... Effects of EGb 761 ® on facilitation of learning.

A team of scientists has linked changes in the structure of a handful of central brain neurons to understanding how animals adjust to changing seasons. Its findings enhance our understanding of the ...
