Technology is rotting our brains — but there are ways to stop it.
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 ...
Neurons activated by the psychedelic 5-MeO-DMT light up across an entire hemisphere of the mouse brain. In this 3D image, colors cycle with depth and the tissue has been spatially distorted to mimic ...
The human brain generates up to 700 new neurons per day in the hippocampus alone, which raises the question: Can this capacity be intentionally enhanced? Neuroplasticity is no longer just a recovery ...
At this very moment (yes, even as you scroll through this), your brain is pulling off a quiet, awe-inspiring feat. It’s adapting, reconfiguring, making new connections, and letting go of the ones it ...
Let’s start with a truth bomb: your brain is not broken. If you’ve ever found yourself wandering into a room and forgetting why or rereading the same paragraph for the fourth time, you’re not alone.
Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is a promising non-invasive neuromodulation technique with the potential for inducing neuroplasticity and enhancing cognitive and clinical outcomes.
Nik Ershov is the founder of Waverox, a mind tracker and wellness app that helps you to gain productivity and combat stress. I've witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of neuroplasticity on ...
The evidence base for the effectiveness of art therapy continues to grow, even as a mechanistic understanding of how art therapy works remains limited. One promising avenue for increasing our ...
Neuroplasticity, or brain plasticity, can be defined as the ability of the nervous system to alter its activity in response to a stimulus by reorganizing its structure, function, and neuronal ...
