Both sighted and blind individuals show similar brain adaptations, including increased activity in visual and auditory cortices, after 10 weeks of echolocation training, demonstrating the brain's adaptability.

Nature Reviews Neuroscience - Rapid-acting antidepressant interventions, such as ketamine and psilocybin, are thought to enhance neural plasticity. This Review outlines evidence of synaptic...

The brain attempts to repair damage following a stroke using its own repair cells, acting like small craftsmen. However, their work is often hindered by inflammation. This is shown by new research from the University of Southern Denmark and the University…

Want to make your brain stronger? Then give yourself a mental workout and take advantage of an ability known as neuroplasticity.

Understanding exactly how psychedelics promote new connections in the brain is critical to developing targeted, non-hallucinogenic therapeutics that can treat neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. To achieve this, researchers are mapping the biochemical…

Even when the brain's main connection is mostly severed, a new study finds that a small fraction of remaining fibers can support near-normal communication between the two hemispheres, highlighting the brain's incredible capacity for adaptation.

Tiny particles released during exercise can travel through the bloodstream and stimulate the growth of new neurons in the brain, a recent study in mice has found.

A new study using advanced MRI technology found that giving beginners real-time feedback on their brain activity helped them meditate better. This training led to lasting improvements in awareness and mood during daily life.

Journal of Cognitive Enhancement - High-intensity exercise is theoretically proposed to enhance hippocampal-related cognition and impair prefrontal cortex (PFC)-related cognition when assessed...

Clinical trials show psilocybin provides rapid relief for depression, but the underlying biology remains unclear. New research demonstrates how varying doses of the drug bind to serotonin receptors to enhance cellular flexibility.
