The brain's ability to adapt and form new neural connections allows it to recover from injury and maintain cognitive function into old age. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to adapt and ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 4. The interplay between neural plasticity and learning is a vibrant and continually evolving field of study. It provides the ...

When it comes to learning, it’s not age but our brain’s plasticity that determines our lifelong learning curve. The ability to learn is closely tied to the brain’s development and its inherent ...

Neurogenetic disorders, such as neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), are diseases caused by a defect in one or more genes, which can sometimes result in cognitive and motor impairments. Better ...

When we learn a new skill, our brain forms new connections between the neurons. The more we do the new skill, the stronger the connections become.

The brain seeks novelty. Passive tasks can lead to skill decline. Challenging the brain with new learning, like a new ...

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 ...
