A study reveals how seasonal brain shrinking helps some mammals survive winter, offering new insights into brain plasticity ...

Research has identified a mechanism through which insulin-like growth factors facilitate brain plasticity. The insulin super-family of hormones, including insulin, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), ...

Understanding how trees respond to drought and climatic stress increasingly calls for close collaboration between experts in ...

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 ...

Mora Leeb was 9 months old when surgeons removed half her brain. Now 15, she plays soccer and tells jokes. Scientists say Mora is an extreme example of brain plasticity, the process that allows a ...
