A key feature that appears to facilitate neuroplasticity is the distinct nature of neurons compared to other cells.

EP doesn't even remember that he has a memory problem. That is something he discovers anew every moment. And since he forgets ...

According to Doidge (2015), referencing Susan Greenfield and Gerald Edelman, this focused, effortful action of thinking is what fires, activates, and rewires the brain to initiate individual ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

Synaptic transmission is the biological process by which a neuron communicates with a target cell across a synapse. Chemical synaptic transmission involves the release of a neurotransmitter from ...

In the cerebral cortex, numerous neurons exchange information through junctions known as synapses. The strength of each ...

New research shows that low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can restore key synaptic structures in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.

Only about 10–20 % of vesicles are typically positioned for immediate docking, forming what is known as the recycling pool, which supports sustained transmission.

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

Allison Transmission Holdings said it agreed to buy Dana’s Off-Highway unit for about $2.7 billion. Allison said the deal is expected to immediately add to diluted earnings per share, and ...
