Past neuroscience studies have consistently showed the profound effects of early life experiences on the brain's wiring, particularly on the formation of the junctions that enable communication ...

A new study shows that fluoxetine, better known as Prozac, does more than increase serotonin—it changes how brain cells ...

A new study shows that the widely used antidepressant fluoxetine does more than boost serotonin levels: it changes how brain cells manage their energy and rebuild their connections, potentially ...

The human brain does more than simply regulate synapses that exchange signals; individual neurons also process information ...

This bioengineering breakthrough has found a way to make neurons grown in a dish react just like the real thing. "Neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in ...

Neuroplasticity, or brain plasticity, can be defined as the ability of the nervous system to alter its activity in response to a stimulus by reorganizing its structure, function, and neuronal ...

Robots designed for neurorehabilitation, specifically for supporting arm and leg movement and motor relearning, are increasingly being adopted for individuals with limited limb mobility due to illness ...

As I recently stood in a bustling gallery, surrounded by bold colors, vibrant textures, and intriguing sculptures, I was struck by the realization of how much our environment shapes us. Each new sight ...
