A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. A study now identifies, ...

Your brain doesn t just send messages through one universal route it uses separate pathways for spontaneous activity and signals linked to learning. These findings overturn a major neuroscience ...

For much of modern history, the brain was seen as largely fixed by the end of childhood. Intelligence, personality, and ability were believed to follow a mostly predetermined biological path.

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 ...

A study by Professor Carlos Matute of the EHU reinforces a paradigm shift in neuroscience: Myelin goes from being a structural element to being an active component of brain function. Published in ...

The brain is known to develop gradually throughout the human lifespan, following a hierarchical pattern. First, it adapts to support basic functions, such as movement and sensory perception, then it ...

“A central goal of neuroscience is to develop an understanding of the brain that ultimately describes the mechanistic basis of human cognition and behavior,” said Jeremy Herskowitz, Ph.D., associate ...
