The axon initial segment (AIS) is where nerve signals begin, and its adaptability is key to brain function. Scientists have found that the AIS changes in response to activity levels, helping neurons ...

What was of particular interest (in relation to the recovery of John Famechon) was the process of discovering what was ...

Researchers from Bonn and Japan have found that the sharing of proteins and calcium makes synaptic plasticity a collective action in which the behavior of one synapse influences how the others can ...

In December 1993, former World Boxing Champion John Famechon, who had suffered a severe brain injury in August 1991, began participating in a new and novel multi-movement therapy ...

Drugs targeting amyloid plaques have failed to show efficacy in clinical trials. A new approach is needed to tackle AD ...

This important study provides new evidence on the role of norepinephrine (NE) release in the hippocampus in response to environmental transitions (event boundaries), providing a potential link between ...

Many glomeruli exhibit structural plasticity in response to early-life odor exposure ... period has long-term consequences for circuit function since both OSN-PN synapse number and spontaneous ...

Together, these data provide mechanistic insight into microglia-mediated synapse pruning after neuronal activation after stroke and identify the role of C1q binding to EPS in stroke treatment during ...

The inability of individual neurons to compensate for aging-related damage leads to a gradual loss of functional plasticity in the brain accompanied by progressive impairment in learning and memory.
