For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the brain developed during ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

Experts say the more we challenge our brains as we age, the more resilient it becomes—and “learning a new instrument is a full-brain workout.” After the age of 40, the average brain decreases 5 ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

Love or hate it, upscaling technology like Nvidia’s DLSS have expanded the definition around gaming performance. And while hardware enthusiasts still want to know what to expect for raster performance ...

Fredericton police are asking for the public’s help after a large brass bell was stolen from St. Peter’s Anglican Church on Woodstock Road late last month. In an update provided afternoon, officers ...

Guitarists today are spoiled for choice, and that goes doubly true for players who use computer-based amp modeling software. I’m one such player, and I don’t miss the size, weight, deafening volume, ...

Neural circuits are refined by experience with higher plasticity at younger ages. Non-neuronal brain cells, known as astrocytes, were previously seen as passive support cells, but recent research has ...

Young minds are easily molded. Each new experience rewires a child's brain circuitry, adding and removing synaptic connections between neurons. These wiring patterns become more stable with age, but ...

Researchers studied thousands of brain scans to see how the organ's architecture changes over a lifetime. University of Cambridge Your brain constantly rewires itself as you age. It may even go ...
