The time fathers devote to child care every week has tripled over the past 50 years in the United States. The increase in ...

The brain is known to develop gradually throughout the human lifespan, following a hierarchical pattern. First, it adapts to support basic functions, such as movement and sensory perception, then it ...

Merkin Prize in Biomedical Technology, which recognizes novel technologies that have improved human health. The prize was ...

Memory consolidation assimilates recent experiences into long-term memory. This process requires the replay of learned sequences, although the content of these sequences remains controversial. Recent ...

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)—even mild concussions—may trigger a chain reaction in the brain that disrupts neuronal ...

It appears that new cells compete to ‘win’ synapse connections away from old cells, which promotes network plasticity. Linda Overstreet-Wadiche, Ph.D. One goal in neurobiology is to understand how the ...

In December of 1993, former World Boxing Champion John Famechon (who had sustained severe incapacitating brain injuries in August 1991) began a new, complex multi-movement therapy and rehabilitation ...

While probing the escape reflex in the fruit fly Drosophila, researchers at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz (JGU) and the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece, found that the ...

Neural circuits undergo experience-dependent plasticity to form long-lasting memories, but how inhibitory interneurons contribute to this process remains poorly understood. Using miniature microscope ...

Neuroplasticity allows the adult brain to rewrite its internal wiring. Daily habits dictate whether our brain structures grow stronger or decay. Physical exercise acts as a direct fuel source for ...

Researchers at Indiana University have identified a single enzyme in brain neurons that, when removed, sharply reduced the ...

We asked neurologists if TikTokers are onto something.
