Senior Lecturer in Neurosciences and Neurorehabilitation, Course Leader in the College of Health and Life Sciences, London South Bank University For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that ...

While probing the escape reflex in the fruit fly Drosophila, researchers at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz (JGU) and the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece, found that the ...

Neural circuits are refined by experience with higher plasticity at younger ages. Non-neuronal brain cells, known as astrocytes, were previously seen as passive support cells, but recent research has ...

Even though the terms brain plasticity and neuroplasticity are associated with late 20th- and now 21st-century scientific and medical thinking, the concept of brain plasticity has been known (although ...

The human brain is known to store various memories for long periods of time, progressively learning from new experiences and forming adaptive representations that ultimately guide decision-making and ...

In the application of his particular form of physical therapy, psychiatrist and author Norman Doidge (2015) wrote of the Feldenkrais Method: “Feldenkrais said he wanted not flexible bodies but ...

Cancer plasticity refers to the remarkable ability of cancer cells to alter their identity, function, and behavior in response to environmental stressors or therapeutic pressures. This dynamic trait ...

Abstract: Plasticity is key to the trainability of neural networks and has long been a focus in the field of brain-inspired research. Currently, neuromorphic networks primarily achieve plasticity ...

Some people love tools in their browsers. Others hate them. We certainly do like to see just how far people can push the browser and version 0.6 of CHILI3D, a browser-based CAD program, certainly ...

Your brain doesn t just send messages through one universal route it uses separate pathways for spontaneous activity and signals linked to learning. These findings overturn a major neuroscience ...

Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to adapt and learn in response to life experiences. It can allow you to gain new skills and recover from injury and trauma. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ...
