Your brain is constantly evolving. Throughout your life, it reshapes, adjusts, and grows stronger in response to learning, new experiences, and your habits. This amazing shape-shifting ability is ...

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...

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 ...

It appears that new cells compete to ‘win’ synapse connections away from old cells, which promotes network plasticity. Linda Overstreet-Wadiche, Ph.D. One goal in neurobiology is to understand how the ...

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 ...

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 ...

For nearly a century, scientists have known that different parts of the human brain's cortex control different body movements. This fundamental discovery dates to the 1930s, when neurosurgeons used ...
