The brain, much like muscles, strengthens through challenge and rest. Neuroplasticity allows adult brains to form new ...

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 ...

While probing the escape reflex in the fruit fly Drosophila, researchers at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz (JGU) and the ...

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 ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...

In the application of his particular form of physical therapy, psychiatrist and author Norman Doidge (2015) wrote of the Feldenkrais Method: “Feldenkrais said he wanted not flexible bodies but ...

The process of “epigenetic memory” in nerve cells plays a key role in learning ability, memory function, and healthy brain ...

Forgoing sleep to watch one more episode of the latest show, to read one more chapter of a thrilling book, or even to pull an all-nighter, is not uncommon. But sleep deprivation can catch up to people ...
