Researchers from Bonn and Japan have clarified how neighboring synapses coordinate their response to plasticity signals: Nerve cells in the brain receive thousands of synaptic signals via their ...

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 ...

Infrastructures often suffer severe damage due to geotechnical hazards of both natural kinds such as floods or earthquakes and man-made ones like underground construction work and excavations. The ...

Brain plasticity — also called neuroplasticity — is an odd term for most people, with the word “plastic” causing images of Tupperware or Saran Wrap to pop into your head. However, brain plasticity is ...
