Cumulus Neuroscience, a leading innovator in brain health technology for clinical trials, today announced the publication of ...

For more than a century, scientists have treated the brain as the undisputed command center of human evolution, with the rest ...

An unprecedented increase in the number of older adults and consequent age-related cognitive declines may negatively contribute to an already overwhelmed healthcare system. Many older adults report ...

For over a decade, neuroscientists have been trying to figure out how neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) and neuroplasticity (the malleability of neural circuits) work together to reshape how we ...

Scientists have long suspected that the trillions of microbes in our intestines do more than digest lunch, but new work goes ...

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 ...

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 ...

If the award-winning 1967 movie The Graduate were remade today, the film’s memorable word would need to switch from "plastics" to "plasticity," to mark the present as well as the future.

Breaking free from cigarettes doesn’t require willpower alone. The human brain possesses remarkable plasticity that allows for complete rewiring of smoking associations, transforming a deeply ...
