A study published in Cell Reports describes a new mechanism of brain plasticity ... change the structure and effectiveness of neuronal connections (synapses) in response to external stimuli.

During learning and development, the level of synaptic input received by cortical neurons may change dramatically. Given a limited range of possible firing rates, how do neurons maintain ...

Neuronal plasticity is a fundamental process in neuronal development and recovery from brain disorders. The Trophin lab focuses on the role of neurotrophic factors, particularly Brain-Derived ...

Mental stimulation that consists of cognitively challenging activities is a means to facilitate neural plasticity, which can increase cognitive reserve and result in maintained or improved ...

plasticity, and repair. To determine whether brain structures can be resolved sufficiently for use in neuroplasticity and neural repair studies, we examined relative glucose utilization in ...

Neuromorphic computing is an emerging computing technology inspired by the operational principles of the human brain. By employing neuromorphic devices to emulate neuronal functions and construct ...
