For over a decade, neuroscientists have been trying to figure out how neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) and neuroplasticity (the malleability of neural circuits) work together to reshape how we ...

The result is a dizzyingly complicated network that is in a constant state of flux, rewiring itself on the fly in response to its environment and the life experience of its owner. The brain’s ability ...

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 ...

Neuroscientists have made breakthrough discoveries on how neuroplasticity varies in people with chronic pain. These studies shed new light on how the brain processes pain and could lead to 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.
