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 ...

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 ...

Have you ever heard or read a word that’s either new to you or that you’ve not encountered, and suddenly it starts cropping up everywhere? This is true for me with the word neuroplasticity. It ...

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 ...
