This work establishes a valuable theoretical finding about how the spike timing dependence of inhibitory plasticity shapes recurrent network connectivity. The combination of theoretical analysis and ...

No One Will Be Blind Ever Again: Elon Musk's Neuralink Is Set To Bring Vision To Humankind ...

It's something we know that humans can do too – and it takes less training than you might think. A study published in PLOS ...

A faecal microbiome transplant (FMT) could make an aged brain as adaptable as a young one. Our gut microbiome has been linked to our risk of depression and may even play a role in shaping our ...

Researchers have discovered a new way that brain plasticity is controlled in early life, offering insight into the little-understood phenomenon of critical-period closure. In the months or years after ...

Dr. David Eagleman is a neuroscientist at Stanford University, co-founder of Neosensory and BrainCheck, and director of the Center for Science and Law. He previously directed a neuroscience research ...

Summary: A brain developing without one sense reorganizes in surprising ways, but new research reveals that this plasticity isn’t always about “turning on” new areas. The study found that in ...

A brain that develops in the deprivation of one sense reorganizes itself in surprising ways, revealing remarkable neuroplasticity. A team of researchers has studied the brain activity of young ...

Our brain may not be as capable of rewiring following an amputation as we thought, which could have serious implications for how we treat a common complication called phantom limb pain. A part of the ...

Homeostatic plasticity maintains normal brain functions by constraining various network features of neural circuits, yet how this is realized on the cellular level remains unknown. Synaptic and ...

New findings suggest neurons have much more functional dexterity than scientists previously realized. Our brains begin to create internal representations of the world around us from the first moment ...
