A new study from the Gandhi lab at the University of California, Irvine finds that transplantation of embryonic cortical interneurons into the adult visual cortex can reopen the critical period of ...

As we age, our brains slowly lose the ability to learn, remember, adapt and heal from injury. This flexibility is known as brain plasticity, and it explains why youngsters can soak up information like ...

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

"This study elegantly shows how analysis of eye movement sheds more light on brain plasticity- an ability that is at the core of the brain's capacity to adapt and function. More specifically, it shows ...

Postnatal development of the brain after birth is characterized by temporary, function-specific windows of high plasticity (critical or sensitive periods). During these phases, certain areas of the ...

Like much of the rest of the body, the brain loses flexibility with age, impacting the ability to learn, remember, and adapt. Now, scientists at University of Utah Health report they can rejuvenate ...

The brain loses flexibility with age, impacting the ability to learn, remember, and adapt. Now, scientists at University of Utah Health report they can rejuvenate the plasticity of the mouse brain, ...
