A few weeks ago, I laced up a pair of roller skates for the very first time. Actually, scratch that. I laced up a pair of roller skates for the first time in over two decades - after what can only be ...

Abstract: This study examines the role of neuroplasticity in developing students' abilities to navigate the inherent uncertainties present in sustainable engineering projects. Rapidly evolving ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex neuro-immunologic disease that affects the central nervous system, particularly the brain and spinal cord, and is characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and ...

Understanding exactly how psychedelics promote new connections in the brain is critical to developing targeted, non-hallucinogenic therapeutics that can treat neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric ...

A growing body of recent scientific evidence indicates that we have much more control over our minds, personalities, and personal illnesses than was previously known, and it is all occurring as a ...

Your brain is constantly evolving. Throughout your life, it reshapes, adjusts, and grows stronger in response to learning, new experiences, and your habits. This amazing shape-shifting ability is ...

Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to adapt and learn in response to life experiences. It can allow you to gain new skills and recover from injury and trauma. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ...
