Many people believe intelligence is a fixed trait you receive at birth and cannot change. Scientific discoveries paint a completely different picture of how the human brain actually works. Your ...

As we age, the human brain rewires itself. The process happens in distinct phases, or “epochs,” according to new research, as the structure of our neural networks changes and our brains reconfigure ...

By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse brain with unprecedented speed and resolution. The approach could expand ...

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers found that surviving eye cells formed extra branches that restored ...

The image shows how the cerebellum (white) send its projections across the brain of a newborn mouse. A wide network of color-coded axons reveals how this tiny structure connects with multiple brain ...

Visual experience triggers the formation of a web of neural connections in different brain areas in order to make sense of the world – and in particular, of feedback connections, which send ...
