Early in life, neural networks in the brain's memory center are highly connected, and they are only later refined into ...

It's a fact of life that the electrical activity of neurons will vary during the same task, even when the ultimate outcome is ...

A team of neuroscientists at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown, in Lisbon, has been able to map single neural connections over long distances in the brain. "These are the first measurements of ...

Could the initiation of a simple walking exercise program help older adults to reverse declines in key brain regions? A new study led by University of Maryland School of Public Health researchers adds ...

Understanding the brain's functional architecture is a fundamental challenge in neuroscience. The connections between neurons ultimately dictate how information is processed, transmitted, stored, and ...

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers found that surviving eye cells formed extra branches that restored ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known ...

Researchers used PET imaging to track synaptic markers in sleep-deprived adults. They found increased neural connection ...

Families facing dementia are finding renewed hope in Brain Fitness: Processing Speed and Reaction Time, that uses ...
