An international team of researchers, with the involvement of the UAB, has conducted a study that explains the evolutionary ...

Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of one genome to develop distinct phenotypes in response to biotic or abiotic environmental stimuli. Notorious examples of phenotypic plasticity in plants include ...

Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to reorganize its structure, functions, and connections in response to experience, injury, or disease. It allows the brain to change and adapt, for example, by ...

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 ...

Can AI learn without forgetting? Explore five levels of continual learning and the stability-plasticity tradeoff to plan better AI roadmaps.

The evidence and concept of adult neurogenesis have been documented in the scientific literature since the 1960s, with research conducted by Altman (1962) and Altman and Das (1965). These studies have ...

Scientists disclose how mitochondria control tissue rejuvenation and synaptic plasticity in the adult mouse brain. Nerve cells (neurons) are amongst the most complex cell types in our body. They ...

The illustration depicts how during differentiation cells normally lose their plasticity and ability to acquire new fates. However, when fully differentiated B cells (naive B cells) initiate an immune ...
