Neural Plasticity: (also known as brain plasticity and neural plasticity) can be defined as the ability of the central nervous system (CNS) to adapt in response to changes in the environment or lesions. The human brain has the astonishing ability to reorganize itself by forming new connections between brain cells (neurons).
Brain wave synchronization, also called neuronal coherence, is a fundamental mechanism of communication in the brain, where synchronized field potentials coordinate synaptic and spiking even...

Identifying the diversity of neuronal cell types of the nervous system is one of the main objectives of the BRAIN Initiative, with the vision that distinct neuronal identities will allow for...
Learning is often an emotional process. Emotional stimuli with different valences, such as threat and reward, can transform an otherwise neutral sensory input into one that can trigger disti...
Plasticity in the brain is very extensive due to the brain’s parallel architecture and synaptic reorganization capabilities. Because neuronal populations are typically in stable low e...
Neurotechnology promises a way to repair the damaged nervous system that requires a merger of neuroscience, engineering and clinical knowledge. Brain Computer Interfaces can now read out the...
This talk provides a brief overview of funding opportunities for invasive device development for translation to clinical populations supported by the NIH BRAIN Initiative....
Cortical plasticity is the neural mechanism by which the cerebrum adapts itself to its environment, while at the same time making it vulnerable to impoverished sensory or developmental experi...
The inability of neurons to regenerate damaged axons within the CNS has dire consequences for victims of traumatic or ischemic brain injury and multiple neurodegenerative diseases. Like other...
Working memory ability matures late in life, in adolescence or early adulthood, and may be enhanced even in adulthood through cognitive training. The mechanisms through which working memory i...
Maturing neural circuits are dramatically shaped by the environment, but this timing varies across brain regions and plasticity declines with age. Focusing on cellular/molecular mechanisms un...
Traditional models of basal ganglia disorders are grounded in the assumption that network dysfunction is driven by alterations in intrinsic excitability of striatal neurons. Recent work has c...
