Examining brain plasticity and its implications for development, aging, and brain injury recovery.

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 4. The interplay between neural plasticity and learning is a vibrant and continually evolving field of study. It provides the ...

The brain's ability to adapt and form new neural connections allows it to recover from injury and maintain cognitive function into old age. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to adapt and ...

A new discovery in rats shows that the brain responds differently in immersive virtual reality environments versus the real world. The finding could help scientists understand how the brain brings ...

Neurons are important, but they are not everything. Indeed, it is "cartilage," in the form of clusters of extracellular matrix molecules called chondroitin sulfates, located in the outside nerve cells ...

For most of the 20th century, the scientific consensus held that the adult brain was essentially fixed, unable to grow new ...

The cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") is the seat of implicit muscle memory and coordinates "non-thinking" physical movements that we learn to do automatically, such as riding a bicycle or touch ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have traced a genetic mutation found in psychosis patients to a specific breakdown in the brain’s learning machinery, offering one of the ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Ow. My arms hurt from trying to keep them lifted: right arm in front, left arm behind, as I attempted to swizzle pump around the circle. There was so much to think about. So many ...
