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 ...

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 ...

About a decade ago, neuroscientists at the University College London published some fascinating research on the brain size and structure of London taxi drivers. In short: the cabbies’ brains were ...

Co-written with Jai Liester. Silent synapses represent one of neuroscience's most fascinating discoveries—connections between neurons that lie dormant until activated by specific triggers. These ...

Neurons activated by the psychedelic 5-MeO-DMT light up across an entire hemisphere of the mouse brain. In this 3D image, colors cycle with depth and the tissue has been spatially distorted to mimic ...

At this very moment (yes, even as you scroll through this), your brain is pulling off a quiet, awe-inspiring feat. It’s adapting, reconfiguring, making new connections, and letting go of the ones it ...
