The potential modifiability of a person’s cognitive and neural processes has been referred to as plasticity. One way to assess cognitive and neural plasticity is to apply training interventions and to ...

Researchers at FORTH have developed a new type of artificial neural network (ANN) that incorporates features of biological ...

Why do beauty standards feel inescapable? Neuroscience and epigenetics reveal how our brains imprint cultural ideals—shaping body image and eating behaviors for life.

Synaptic plasticity is the biological process by which specific patterns of synaptic activity result in changes in synaptic strength and is thought to contribute to learning and memory.

High cholesterol levels can pose significant risks to health, including affecting memory. Research highlights a link between cholesterol management an ...

SNN is the third-generation neural network (Maass, 1997). It has more biological structures and processing mechanisms, such as discrete sequential spike neurons which make it possible to deal with ...

January felt long due to high expectations for new skills, but February brings a lighter perspective. Embracing learning fosters growth and adaptability.

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 ...

Two theories behind the biological basis of depression have battled it out for decades — which one will emerge victorious?

Don’t be discouraged if you feel like you haven’t noticed the results you were after immediately. There are lots of changes ...
