A recent study published in the journal Nature reveals how a specific stress hormone helps the brain lock in its neural ...

Nervous system functions, from motion to perception to cognition, depend on the active zones of neural circuit connections (synapses) sending out the right amount of their chemical signals at the ...

A groundbreaking new connectome maps every neural connection in an adult fruit fly’s central nervous system, creating an ...

Learning is a fundamental process driving adaptability and survival across biological scales. At the organismal level, neural rewiring and synaptic plasticity enable the brain to learn and form ...

Research indicates that repetition and distributed practice effectively fires and rewires the brain, thereby strengthening memory and improving learning potential. This approach aims to develop and ...

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that with surprising precision, sending targeted feedback to individual neurons ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known ...
