An unprecedented increase in the number of older adults and consequent age-related cognitive declines may negatively contribute to an already overwhelmed healthcare system. Many older adults report ...

This bioengineering breakthrough has found a way to make neurons grown in a dish react just like the real thing. "Neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in ...

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 ...

The research on learning and memory shows that learning is possible and memory can be enhanced across the lifespan, unless the brain is compromised by disease or injury, and even then there is more ...

How do psychedelics help people heal from depression, anxiety, addiction, and other mental health challenges? While much attention has been paid to neurochemical mechanisms, a simple ski analogy — ...

(A) Schematic illustration of the DishBrain feedback loop, the simulated game environment, and electrode configurations. (B) A schematic illustration of the overall network construction framework. The ...

The various types of BoCI are illustrated. The various types of BoCIs are introduced, including planar and stereoelectrode-based methods. The former primarily relies on low-density or high-density ...

Sometimes in the rush to explore our interactions with neural nets (often in the form of LLMs) we forget to think about our own operating system and how it works. Of course, scientists did spend a lot ...
