A new study shows that the widely used antidepressant fluoxetine does more than boost serotonin levels: it changes how brain cells manage their energy and rebuild their connections, potentially ...
In awaking and behaving brains, it is still not clear how high learning potential and neural plasticity aged brains have. This research project will detect actual features of the potential and ...
The debate over adult neurogenesis may have just been won. New research out of the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden provides evidence of adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus, a finding that could ...
Neural circuits are refined by experience with higher plasticity at younger ages. Non-neuronal brain cells, known as astrocytes, were previously seen as passive support cells, but recent research has ...
Young minds are easily molded. Each new experience rewires a child’s brain circuitry, adding and removing synaptic connections between neurons. These wiring patterns become more stable with age, but ...
How do psychedelics help people heal from depression, anxiety, addiction, and other mental health challenges? While much attention has been paid to neurochemical mechanisms, a simple ski analogy — ...
